He talks with Sean Graham about Grant the politician v. Grant the military man, Reconstruction in the South, and the racial divide in post-Civil War America. They also talk about the importance of foreign policy in the late 19th century, Grant’s policy towards Native Americans, and how economics can derail policy decisions.
