Where did Ulysses S. Grant go after his victory at fort donelson?

He was the first U.S. President elected after the war. Grant owned slaves after the war, due to the emancipation proclamation effecting only southern states as a way of punishing them for the war. His slave (his wife had several) was not freed until 1865...well after the war. In addition, the great "emancipator's" wife Mary Todd Lincoln came from a slave holding family.
General Robert E. Lee was opposed to slavery and felt it to be morally and politically wrong. Anyone interested in more on this should go to the National Park Service website and look under White Haven (general grant's slave holding farm).
So, when you win a war you get to rewrite history to benefit yourself. I am glad the nps.gov website is actually admitting that the union general that fought "to end slavery" had slaves himself. Surprise, surprise!
