and that's why there was a giant statue of robert e. leea horse looming over the old capital of the confederacy in richmond for 130 years because white supremacists and confederacy apologists tried to recast him as some, sort of, noble hero, even though it was known, at the time, by actual civil war heroes, that lee was a traitor who disgraced himself. ulysses s. grant said, "the cause lee fought for was, i believe, one of the worst for which a people ever fought, and one for which there was the least excuse." and grant's the guy who beat lee. how the hell did lee end up with a giant statue and not grant if anything, there should have been a giant statue in richmond, of grant kicking lee in the balls. even better, it could be a clock that tolls on the hour [ clock tolling [ laughter ] not sure if 1:00 was the funniest of our options.

he is tied throughout history with robert e. lee.is also, it is interesting, because he is not viewed as one of the great presidents and yet he came after the civil war and i think about that because we talk about how divided we are as a nation. we couldn't have been more divided ever than in the aftermath of the civil war. are there lessons from his leadership in that period we might want to glean for right now? >> big time. i think if you look back, i think history will look back a little brighter on grant because he holds the country together. we were literally tipping towards a second civil war. by what he does, by fighting for black citizenship, the right to vote, really fighting the kkk in the south, he is trying to bring lincoln's vision forward. he doesn't get credit for it. charles: yeah. >> this book gives it to him. charles: when i grew up in harlem not far from grant's tomb, it was in horrible shape for years. we just never had a great opinion of him. i'm glad you wrote the book. i don't know what happened in the three da

the favorite with general robert e. lee and known for his charisma and has lots of legends that he actually wants to cultivate and he tries out new tactics but i think that's something that sometimes we forget about stuart. he has incredible spy network that he's using throughout virginia. stuart has this idea could he have -- something they used on napoleonic outfield to move from point to point. he has some trouble finding a commander. first he thinks it's going to be john cook. cook spends half his time in richmond it doesn't have a lot of interest at this point in forming an artillery unit. then james brett is the confederate military are not so into him at the moment and the third time is a charm pelham's name. pelham has been active with the artillery and is definitely helping to form and train units that are coming to the confederates at that point in time. for one reason or another the confederate military in richmond say yes pelham will be the commander of the force artillery paid on november 29 come 1861 in order
