While on summer vacation with my family, I finished “Grant” by Ron Chernow. As a Southern boy, I haven’t read much about the Civil War from a Union perspective.
Coming from the South, I’ve always seen the North as the aggressors or invaders. Now, for those from the North, before you tune me out or stop reading this article, I want to say I have greater respect and understanding of the North, especially from Grant’s point of view. This article isn’t about the Civil War, but a large part of Grant’s biography, as you might expect, focuses on his Civil War era.
