DB Comedy Presents THE ELECTABLES

President 18 - Ulysses S. Grant

Episode Summary

We Americans love our men in uniforms - so much so we have made a few of them President. Yet we often remember them more for the uniform than as President. Take, for instance, Mr. Won-The-Civil-War (and was President, we think), Ulysses S. Grant. But is that a fair assessment? Let DB Comedy, with the help of Prof. Matthew Norman and James McRae, take you though our two-term President and Civil War hero - yeah, he won two terms, look it up! - U.S. Grant!
