Gordon Granger was born in 1821, not 1822, as shown in my book <ref>General Gordon Granger: The Savior of Chickamauga and the Man Behind "Juneteenth", which was written by Robert C. Conner and published in November 2013 by Casemate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobconnerapru ( talk • contribs) 21:16, 7 January 2014 (UTC) reply

In his memoirs, Grant states that despite having told Granger that he wanted his troops to pursue the enemy after the Battle of Chatanooga, and assist in the relief of Burnside's forces at Knoxville, Granger did not do so, "having decided for himself that it was a bad move." He wasted an entire day and Grant was understandably annoyed at him not moving off towards Knoxville until Grant showed up in person and ordered him to do so. Since Granger was under Grant's command, his initial dilatoriness was a refusal of a direct order, and potentially a court martial offense. So it's not that Granger's "outspokenness" put him in Dutch with Grant, but simply that he thought his own skills as a General superior to those of his commanding officer. No commander can afford to have such a subordinate around, if only because to do so would encourage others likewise to only obey orders which they agreed with. Throughout the war, Grant was very quick to move officers on who failed to show the appropriate dash and speed in following up after an attack had succeeded.

The Emancipation proclamation did not end slavery in all confederacy as it delineates in which counties and territories it did not apply. The 13th Amendment “ended” slavery with a huge exception. To say slavery was over is misinformation. Its found right in our constitution. 2600:4041:413F:7400:E8CC:6244:6F90:7C0D ( talk) 22:22, 19 June 2023 (UTC) reply
