The story of how a great union general and a pro-civil rights president became a widely derided figure and a general who committed treason to protect slavery became a revered figure is indeed highly instructive.
I’ve mentioned this before, but in the first two Schlesinger presidential reputation surveys and the 1982 Chicago Tribune survey, Grant was ranked a worse president than Pierce, Buchanan and Andrew Johnson, and in the first two he was ranked well behind the unelected, vociferously anti-civil-rights president who was impeached and had 15 of his 21 non-pocket vetoes overriden. The influence of the Dunning School was appallingly persistent well into the 20th century.
