SUMMARY:Ulysses S. Grant - Warrior And President
DESCRIPTION:After three years of tremendous bloodshed\, Union losses and a seemingly endless stalemate \, President Lincoln appointed Ulysses S. Grant to head the USA Army. The War was over less than a year later.  Grant saved the Union\, crushed the terrorists and helped free millions of people who were the children\, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of kidnap victims from the cruel system that exploited them physically and sexually.  His leadership and vision destroyed a racist rebellion. By devising a brilliant strategy along with General Sherman\, winning the complete support and unswerving loyalty of President Lincoln and bravely leading a courageous army\, Grant is rightfully ranked along with Washington and Patton as one of our greatest commanding officers. In the election of 1876\, the country turned to him again. As  President\, Ulysses S. Grant \nPresident Grant \ntook important steps to rebuild the country\, help the exploited and homeless victims to the terrorists and tried advance America’s technological growth. Alas\, his administration was mired in scandal.  Yet in recent years\, historians have begun to reevaluate his terms as President. His historical reputation has improved. This fascinating multimedia presentation looks at his difficult private life\, happy marriage and his invaluable contributions to the USA as a General and as a President. \nPlease note: this event is offered through Harper College and registration is required.

SUMMARY:Sherman's March To The Sea - Saving America By Destroying A Rebellion
DESCRIPTION:Sherman’s March To The Sea – Saving America By Destroying A Rebellion\n No military action in the bloody Civil War was probably more controversial than Sherman’s March To The Sea. After the War\, traitors who were inclined to respect Grant and revere Lincoln were unreconstructed in their hatred of William T. Sherman. Why? The brutal\, unprecedented destruction of enormous swaths of the South hastened the end of the War and sped the end of the barbarous\,immoral and inhumane practice of the enslavement\, rape and murder of the descendants of kidnap victims. Sherman hastened the demise of that unspeakable activity. However the utter desolation of the lives and lands of so many White Southerners had a long-lasting impact on race relations and politics.  Sherman was a complex man\, brilliant and fragile\, harsh and yet sentimental. His troops adored him\, leaders of the terrorist rebellion feared him and Abraham Lincoln recognized his invaluable patriotic service to our nation. In this fast paced and fascinating multimedia presentation\, we will learn how Sherman and his troops easily crushed the army of traitors who stood in their way – in the process making military history and helping save the republic. Add to that his friendship with Grant\, his respect for Lincoln\, his amazing life after the war – they all  make for a compelling and fascinating multimedia presentation!   \nPlease note: this event is offered through Harper College and registration is required.
