he fought for constitutional amendments, enhancing citizenship and voting rights, batsled the ku klux klan to a sta standstill before he gave up the presidency. i think it's tragic really. one hopes the understandable pent-up rage about monumentalizing american heroes without really understanding all of the nuances of their stories calms down a bit so we can look at these on a case-by-case basis. >> absolutely. so that brings us to our next object this evening. it's a coin designed by major general benjamin franklin butler. so who was this guy butler? was he a kind designer or major general? >> he's not bad, as we see. the invocation on the right is a little off the mark, but -- he's a complicated, bizarre, controversial figure. he was a democrat in politics in massachusetts. he was a businessman. he owned a mill. very successful. he was a white supremacist in as late white supremacist as late as 1860. he supported jefferson davis as president of the united states for the democratic convention in 1860 and then he didn't even support steven douglas. and he ran for governor on a brok br

he battled the ku klux klan to a standstill before he gave up presidency. i think it's tragic, really, and one hopes that the pent up rage about monumental lies-ing american heroes without really understanding of the nuances and the stories calms down a bit so we can look at this on a case by case basis. >> absolutely. our next object. it's a coin. designed by major general benjamin franklin butler. we see a coin designer or major general? >> on he is a complicated, bizarre, controversial figure. he was a democrat in politics and massachusetts. he was a businessman. he owned a middle. very successful. he was a white supremacist in as late as 1860. he supported jefferson davis, the president of the united states at the democratic convention of 1860. even supported stephen douglas, the southern democrat john -- 1860. he ran for governor and lost. when the more breaks out, he is such a staunch unionist that he raises a militia brigade in massachusetts, and immediately touches on controversy, because he has the army by his units and uniforms from his own unit.

but later he became the enemy of the ku klux klan, and it is probably antisemitic but he had a father, who was a character. and always trying to make money off of his sons fame. one of the things that triggered his notorious order, expelling jews was the fact that his father turned up in his camp one day with his new business partner who happen to be jewish. both of them, we're looking for ways to exploit the situation for profit. you know there was money to be made in selling things to soldier and other things that made civilian life and durable. and grant, he could smack his father or put him in jail so, he attacked the jews. and it manifested by his father 's business partner. but it's interesting, american jewish leaders went to abraham lincoln, to protect to protest sorry disorder. and some very famous rabbis, and lincoln received them, and said we've come to father abraham, and we've come to our abraham for relief. and lincoln immediately saw that the law the complaints, and he counter man dated trans order. and this shows how savvy lincoln was. he ordered general halep, to coun

he was a slave holder and then in the ku klux klan, he was probably anti-semitic. he had a father who was a character and always tried to make money off of his son's fame. and one of the things that triggered his notorious order expelling jews was the fact that his father turned up in his camp one day with his new business partner who happened to be jewish. and both of them were looking for ways to exploit the situation for profit. you know, there was money to be made in selling things to soldiers who were bereft of the things that made civilian life endurable. and grant, you know, he couldn't -- he couldn't smack his father and throw him in jail, so he -- he attacked the jews, manifested by his father's business partner. it's interesting -- american jewish leaders immediately went to abraham lincoln to protest this order. and some very famous rabbis and lincoln received them and, you know, said, we've come to father abraham, we've come to our abraham for relief. and lincoln immediately saw the justice of their complaints, and he countermanneded grant's order. but

brought 3,000 indictments, got more than a thousand convictions against the klan and crushed the ku klux klan. it was his greatest achievement as president. the klan that we know is really from the resurgence from the 19 teens and 1920s, the klan that is still with us. they of course barred a lot of the techniques and ideology of the original klan. >> why were there so many corruption related scandals during grant's two terms in office. was he complicit? did he turn a blind eye? >> grant was terribly naive. i'll tell a story from his childhood. when he was a boy, his father wanted to buy a horse, so he told ulysses to go to this farm, and he gave ulysses these instructions. he said offer $20 to the farmer, if he doesn't take it, offer $22.50, if he still doesn't bite offer 25. grant goes to the farmer and says my father said i should offer you $20 for the horse, but if you don't take it to offer you $22.50, and if you don't take that to offer $25. i wish i could say there was some learning curve in terms of grant and money, but there wasn't. unscrupulous people seemed to spot grant a mil

violence escalates, and there's strengthening of the ku klux klan. you spend a lot of time in the book, and you handle it very deftly. what did grant do to combat the klan and was he successful? >> yeah, in 1866 it starts out as a social club of confederate veterans, and they start, you know, wearing their old uniforms and drilling and it becomes a militaristic secret organization and they start putting on hoods and riding horseback and terrifying people. nothing terrified the white south more than the black men, and it was only black men voting so the terror was very much directed against blacks voting or registering to vote. there was no southern sheriff who would arrest a member of the klan. there was no southern jury that would convict of a member of the klan. there was no southern white who would testify against the klan. there were maybe hundreds, thousands of murders of blacks that went unprosecuted. grant had a crusading attorney general from georgia. acerman brought 3,000 indictments, got more than 1,000 convictions against the klan and crus

klan attack freed slaves, and they criticized president grant and the ku klux klan act that was used to send federal troops to protect the constitutional rights of citizens when they decided. the courts have never weighed in really about what constitute sufficient grounds to send forces and it is a lesson out of the book. it is up to politics. we have a basis in the constitution when it is up to those branches, expect this is something the courts should decide for us. >> host: a question from paul taylor who writes anyone who runs for president has to have a big ego and trump is no different but his ego seems to make them remarkably resistant to changing his views to assuage the politically correct popular mood of the moment at least the mood among political, legal and media elites. do you think a politically incorrect president like that is just what the modern presidency needs to restore the authority of the president and the overreaching and flawed responses by donald trump's critics serve to further highlight the need for president with full constitutional powers? >> guest: inter
