Kind of crazy that he was such a corrupt piece of shit he was constantly ranked at the bottom of the presidents, even worse than Buchanan and that other guy right before the civil war, but now people put him near the top because he used the army and stuff to force black rights on the south. Like his admin was so fucking corrupt, there was an economic panic because 2 of the guys working for him used their office to corner the gold market to personally enrich themselves, fucking over the whole country's economy.
Also crazy how every republican of the time, until like Taft or Coolidge, who had a reputation for not being corrupt, got shot. Like Garfield, McKinley and Teddy all got shot

Apologize
>>
>>18660395
Benjamin Harrison wasn't shot and neither was Rutherford Hayes.
>>
>>18660395
Never heard of anyone putting him up as a top president. People like him as a general and as a man, not as a president, because he was an exceptional general and an exceptional man, but an absolutely godawful president with senile levels of naivety.
>>
>>18660557
Grant was long maligned by Dixietard historians.
>>
>>18660547
obviously corrupt
>>18660557
see >>18660559. modern "anti racists" will look past his terrible job as president and cite his civil war record and his record protecting blacks as president and just blame everything else on "the lost cause myth pushers trying to tear a man down"
It's like how Jackson was evil for the trail of tears, but the same fags are fine with overlooking FDR putting Americans in concentration camps
>>
>>18660557
hes is the most revered us president in latin america because he publicly condemned the theft of northern mexican territory.
>>
>>18660709
taking territory from mexico was and is based
>>
>>18660578
Jackson was mostly great but had an awful record on civil rights. Grant was mostly bad but had a good record on civil rights. He was also a heroic general and a proto-celebrity, so his name and fame have survived
>>
>>18660730
>civil rights
irrelevant bullshit

hahaha

Oy vey

Imagine that. Good thing nothing like that could ever happen in the contemporary US.
>>
>>18660730
Good post with no argument disputing otherwise. Shockingly Americans care about civil liberties and presidents that respect them.
>>
>>18660578
FDR was terrible but Japs are not Americans, they were what we call paperwork Americans. It's like whining about ICE shooting traitorous leftists because they're US citizens.
>>
>>18661300
Outlawing freedom of association for white prople is a pretty bad civil rights record I'd say.
>>
>>18661311
Chuds getting buttfucked is funny.

>>18660782
Not when they're your rights.

Everyone here is brown

Shut up, none of that has happened under Orange man

Here based politician

blame the open borders, gun control and trannies party for having a platform so fucking terrible that any alternative is better
>>18661300
civil rights not civil liberties, and no they don't. Dems don't care about FDR's concentration camps
>>
>>18661301
they were American citizens, unlike illegals
>>18661311
true
>>18661314
what's it like being a tranny?
>>18661482
no one alive today was alive when Grant was president

>>18661509

only the nonAmericans

tell me more

Bump

The corruption of the Grant administration most likely doomed reconstruction, and discredited the idea of civil rights for a large portion of the post-civil war generation, as the the next several gilded age elections would be instead focused on civil service reform and currency issues.
>>
>>18660395
>Teddy
>not corrupt
What? How do you figure that? He threw the executive dick around like a sledgehammer on his own whims
>>
>>18663296
He also despised the US Constitution, like his soul mate Wilson.
