Revenge of the Lost Cause

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2015

Verified Purchase

What I had long suspected, Frank Scaturro proves. President Grant had sought to implement the Lincoln plans for Reconstruction. Aristocrats of the Lost Cause sought to reestablish an only slightly modified version of the old slave system through terror and brutality. Grant wiped out the original KKK and similar terrorist gangs and demanded justice for freedmen and Indians.
In order for the old Southern aristocracy to reclaim control over state governments and thereby hamstring progress in the national government, political rights had to be stolen. A campaign to wear down Union resistance to the return to power of the Lost Cause aristocrats, demanded that Grant be discredited. Mr Scatturo shows how this was done. This was not done with a bullet as in the case of Lincoln--it was done by the pen. Read this book!

JUST SPITE

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2018

Verified Purchase

Yes it did,the text readdresses the presidency of Grant viv a vis the poor press it got from most historians writing between his acclaimed war record and of his two terms.as president. Scaturro makes the case that much of this grew out of local politicians dismay that Grant did not respond to them and the local
spoils system and did not offer them jobs. Instead he used his own choices to staff his administration.

subsequent historians picked up this and continued and expanded the attacks. Not until the recent 20centuaryj series of new and well researched biographies were questions raised.
A great addition to the record of a great man.

Excellent Work!!!

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2014

Verified Purchase

This book is a masterpiece!!! Mr. Scaturro writes with professionalism and accuracy. History must be accurate and without assumptions and he does this expertly. His documentation is without flaw; everything is accounted for. All Ulysses S. Grant critics (supporters as well) need to read this and understand the truly honorable, honest, and decent man that Grant was as President. A job well-done-A+++.

Reconsidered Dissecting the Lost Cause

Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book is good re details and supporting data. But it reads as a "thesis paper" and not a pleasure re such as American Ulysses. But clearly if you're looking for facts, data, historical support and scholarly reasoning to debunk those of the "Lost Cause" view re Grant, this is your book.

Thought provoking

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2015

Verified Purchase

I found this thought provoking. As I was growing up and the world was still young the historians's consensus opinion was that Grant was president rated mediocre or worse. Scaturro challenges that sufficiently for me to want to know more. In due course I will read more of President Grant. More work. So be it.

Finally- A Honest Account of the Grant Presidency!

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2001

During the 50 years following the Civil War, the presidency of U. S. Grant was completely distored in an attempt to diminish the accomplishments of the Grant era (Civil Rights) and to take away some of the luster from the man who saved the Union.
The Democratic party- particullary of the South- stiffled the great civil rights efforts of the Republicans during reconstruction. As time passed, and voting rights and other legislative initatives of the Granta administration were dismembered by the Southern Demacrats, they constantly sought to sully the memory of Grant. One of the keys to that effort was portraying the Grant administration in a bad light in terms of corruption. This was done by distortion history, and the outright falsification of the facts involved in the Grant administration. To a large extent these distortions have not been challanged.
Grant Reconsidered presents the historical record in a straight fowrward manner: The Grant presidency offered tremendous acomplishments- and really offered a bridge from a slave nation to a nation where all men have the same rights. An outstanding book!!

A brilliant general and an underrated president

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 1998

This book presents a compelling argument for why US Grant's much-maligned presidency actually was far more successful than the "conventional wisdom" would hold. This especially is true in the areas of Reconstruction (where Grant's attempts to protect the rights of the freed blacks would not be equalled until the 1960s), international affairs (where the resolution of the ALABAMA claims established standards still used today for the peaceful arbitration of international disputes), the economy (in which Grant's politically unpopular stances on principle served well the long-term interests of the United States), and in presidential relationships with the Congress. It also dispells many of the myths surrounding the "corruption" in the Grant Administration, thus helping to explain why Grant remained extraordinarily popular after he left office, so much so that four years later (in 1880), there were serious efforts to have Grant break precedent and seek a third term. This book is but one of many recent scholarly efforts in which Grant's reputation, both as a brilliant general and as an able chief executive, are being restored.
