July 25th – American Minute – First Four star General, Ulysses S. Grant

Elected the 18th President, Grant supported ratification of the 15th Amendment, guaranteeing freed slaves the right to vote, and he signed the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, limiting Democrat vigilante and lynching activity in the South. ‘Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people.’ Yours respectfully, U.S. Grant.”
