“If I thought this war was to abolish slavery, I would resign my commission and offer my sword to the other side.” Ulysses Grant

Highly unlikely Grant ever said this. For one thing, its grandiloquence was not in his character.

Whatever else you may say about the man, he wasn't flashy.

I have a book entitled “The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History” by Thomas E. Woods Jr., Ph.D. I copied that quote from that book. If you know anything negative about the author or the book please let me know as I use the information in it.
Side note: On a TV show this AM it depicted Grant as a drunk, and quoted Lincoln as asking what he drank so he could give it to the rest of the Union army, because Grant was winning.
