grant having/holding slaves is WELL KNOWN in the academic community.

Oh, I have long acknowleged the fact that Grant owned a slave in 1858-59 and that his wife had use of some of her father's slaves as late as 1862, possibly January 1863. But the idea that Grant owned a slave himself in 1866 is ridiculous.

But like the rest of the neo-confederate crazies, you can't provide a shred of proof for your position.
