Ulysses S. Grant Defeats A Confederate Force - Grant series

[leriocastigador]

I read somewhere, whether true or not, that Grant's drunkenness was reported to Pres. Lincoln. He replied that they better find out the brand of Grant's drink and send a supply to all his generals.

Buckner lent money to a penniless Grant. After the surrender, Grant offered Buckner his “purse”, meaning all the cash he had on hand.

[JoaoSoares-rsec]

He saved my neck back then,
Your terms general
Unconditional surrender.

[brettfalls]

Old debts can't cancel present obligations.

[frankensteinmurillo]

This scene truly shoes the harsh reality that most of the generals on both sides grew up together on Westpoint and The Mexican War only to become bitter enemies.

[galleste]

Generally portrayed a drunk, I understand he drank a lot of apple cider. Gave people that impression. His bold actions and decisiveness is a major reason the Union won the war. Only mistake he made in battle was ordering those charges at Cold Harbor in 1864.

[Darth.Fluffy]

Separation of the personal and the professional. It was common in the civil war, where most of the professional officers knew each other. West Point, the Mexican War, just the normal Regimental duty.

[quixoticfiend]

It's wild that the most successful general in the Civil War and future two term president died on the verge of penury.

[giloro]

Was this the same Bucker relative to General Simon Bolivar Buckner who died at Iwo Jima?

[ashcarrier]

A historian I read made the convincing argument that Grant is the best general in American military history.

Nada pessoal ! O patriotismo supera tudo !

[fred]

The genius of Grant: nothing gets intje way of completion of his mission. He out-generaled Lee and every rebel general he faced.

[shadetreemech]

It's not personal. This is business.

[YoY]

Why does the guy playing Grant Look more like Sherman ?

[promike]

Whats the name of movie or miniseries please

[mattheweast]

That's some bad ass shit right there.

[gmatgmat]

Gen Simon Bolivar Buckner, a descendant was killed during the Battle for Okinawa.

[FrankUlises-eb]

Please how can I watch this series????

[christiantackett]

They remained friends. Buckner was one of the pallbearers at Grant's funeral.
