Ron Chernow Quote
The outside world may have wondered about Grant’s sympathies, but his private statements leave no room for conjecture about his inexorable drift toward Radical Republicanism. Welles later speculated that by fall 1866, Grant was secretly acting in concert with the Radicals to deceive and beguile the President.80 Grant didn’t regard it as deception so much as adhering to bedrock principles, telling Badeau he had never felt so anxious about the country.
