Ulysses Underground: the Unexplored...
Ulysses Grant was no obscure boy from an anonymous village. He grew up surrounded by blacks, whites, males, females, northerners, and southerners with a fierce commitment to slavery’s demise. Those who diagnosed slavery as fatal to America’s new democracy moved to Ohio decades before Ulysses' birth, in order to liberate the enslaved and save the nation. ULYSSES UNDERGROUND's ground breaking research unveils a 70-year antebellum effort to allow those of African descent the full benefits of a democracy. Their deep-laid plan for freedom later became known as the Underground Railroad. The challenge inundating Ulysses’ childhood and adolescence was how to end slavery without severing the United States. Corum explores the conflict between those pushing overtly and covertly to end slavery, as well as Ulysses’ place in the crux of it. Using dozens of letters, 65 illustrations and photographs, 13 maps, and 700 endnotes, ULYSSES UNDERGROUND unfurls fascinating American history. www.ulyssesunderground.com
