Where we meme (joking in tone and detail, serious in sentiment) about General Sherman, the Civil War, and how the secesh traitors had it coming.
RULES
No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.
No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.
Follow all Piefed.social rules
Explanation: General Grant, most famous for his service during the US Civil War, has something of a reputation as a hard drinker. The truth is a bit more complex - he seemed to drink heavily when idle and lonely (such as when he was a junior officer posted far from his family), but not while occupied or in command. That being said, he apparently had an astounding ability to recover from hangovers rapidly after a night of hard drinking!
He is without a doubt my favourite US president to read about. Not a perfect character, but a deeply complex one with interesting contradictory morals. Arguably, I'd say he is the best president the states ever had.
