        Will we ever have another president that can think thoughts like this?

        A telegram between two men explains, as well as anything, how the North won. "I can't spare this man. He fights."

        Remembering the firestorm when Nixon proclaimed Manson guilty, then was forced to retract and apologize for making such a statement before a trial was finished. My, how times have changed.https://www.nytimes.com/1970/08/04/archives/nixon-calls-manson-guilty-later-withdraws-remark-refers-to-coast.html …

        Trump does follow the “choke” advice. And both Lincoln and Grant would choke if they witnessed his presidency. After their many sacrifices for a united and free America, it’s a blessing for them not to witness the result of 2016.

        In my relatives (the Irish ones) civil war letters wrote home about hoping to getting a glimpse of General Grant, then getting a glimpse of him riding by. When you search Trump's lawyer surrendering to the FBI and get sidetracked by the historian Michael Beschloss' account :)

        There was a true admiration between these two men. Without both of them the outcome of the Civil War could have been different.

        Aug 1864, so that was during the Overland Campaign. Grant's men did indeed "hold on with a bull-dog grip"
