Apparently Grant owned a slave at one point. And he wrote in 1863: "“I never was an abolitionist, Grant wrote to his friend and patron, Elihu Washburne, in 1863, “not even what could be called anti-slavery…”

I guess that group of protestors find that insufficient opposition to slavery to justify a public statute.

Ah, I see. So it's personal.
Efforts to end slavery are not important. It's only important if someone owned a slave before slavery was abolished.

It's kinda dumb to take such statutes down but not worth a police riot to stop such trivial violations.
