Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

Watching Grant now. Not bad.

Very true.
Some consider it blasphemy to be critical of Lee, but Lee was a Napoleonic style general and Grant was a total war general like Sherman.
Lee would fight and retire to fight again later.
Grant would hit, hit, and hit again whether he won or lost. Did not matter.
******************************
I feel there was one personally defining moment with Grant that determined the entire war.
When he and his troops scaled a hill to fight the rebs on the other side, he saw they had unassed the area and were gone.
He felt then, they were more afraid of what he was going to do to them, than what they were going to do to him.
When your enemy runs from you, even once, you know you can beat them.
...at that moment, the civil war was lost for the rebs.

That was exactly it. he was called a butcher by both sides.
...but the war had to be ended, and the Yankees had the material and the manpower.
********************************
There is a story of the rebs shelling and setting afire a Yankee supply depot, and with the fire blazing they could smell all the smoked hams, bacon, and coffee burning up and they wanted to go down there and put out the fires and save some of it.
Few things smell better than coffee and bacon cooking.

You all realize that the USA could have let the CSA go and not kill hundreds of thousands?
