Ulysses S. Grant: The Drunk Genius Who Broke the South

The expectation was that he would fail. The reality is that he saved the Union.
In 1860, Ulysses S. Grant was a 38-year-old failure selling firewood on a street corner in Galena, Illinois. He had failed at farming, failed in business, and been forced out of the Army for drinking.[1] Yet, just five years later, this quiet, unassuming man would accept the surrender of Robert E. Lee at Appomattox Court House.
This video explores the "Drunk Genius" reality of U.S. Grant. We look past the myths of the "Butcher" and the "Drunkard" to reveal a brilliant strategic mind that understood the brutal math of the American Civil War better than anyone else.
