Ulysses S. Grant seems to stir up more debate than almost any other historical figure. (I'm prepared to have a medieval historian disprove this regarding Atilla the Hun or Ghengis Khan.) Any time one starts to read a thread on any USG topic, cue the attacks, shore up the defence, and the original topic of discussion gets completely lost. I propose a thread to which all these debates can be redirected:
Grant: Better or worse than Rosecrans, George Thomas, or William Tecumseh Sherman? Fair to Rawlins or not? Created by Washburn or not? Corrupt or not? Drunk/alcoholic or not? Butcher? Failure? Politically astute or lucky imbecile?
