Plenty to argue, especially about individuals. Did Grant conduct a war of aggression or was he a soldier doing his job for his country? Just because "the winners write the history" doesn't necessarily mean they were in the wrong. In this case the losers have been writing the history for 145 years, and complaining that their story is never heard.
There is plenty of debate to be had. I just thought it was cheating on your part to word that the way you did. Or maybe there was some tongue-in-cheek that I missed?

That's some reason to be unhappy. I don't blame you a bit.
