And what was this "righteous cause" you speak of?
If you're going to say they were fighting to abolish slavery I'll sit here and listen to you explain to us all why it is that Grant and many high ups in the Union kept slaves during the war.
While you're at it, tell us why the Union refused to free slaves in areas under Union control when Abe made his "Emancipation Proclamation"
ETA - Grant freed his slave before the war and was the last president to own a slave. He was NOT an abolitionist by his own words

Do some fact checking before you post.

Did Ulysses S. Grant own slaves during the Civil War?
No, but it will come as a surprise to many people, that Grant did in fact own a man named William Jones for about a year on the eve of the Civil War. In 1859, Grant either bought or was given the 35-year-old Jones, who was in Grant’s service until he freed him before the start of the War.
