Chuck Schumer said "I am just going to say a word about this resolution. Ulysses Grant was an amazing human being. I became acquainted with him when I read the biography of Ulysses Grant written by Mr. Chernow, a Brooklyn resident, who was very eager for us to pass this. One of his crusades in life was to undo the smears against Ulysses Grant, often perpetrated by southern historians after we won the Civil War for the Union. And I commend to everybody Mr. Chernow's book. It is an amazing book. ___________________
