Yep, his own family were abolitionists from what I remember. Never been to the Grant farm. The only two presidential homes I’ve been to are Monticello and Mount Vernon.

In addition to hitting national parks, we’ve taken to trying to hit all the presidential sites (homes/libraries). There’s some fascinating stuff to be learned about these people.

For instance, Andrew Jackson was a staunch unionist - he went after insurrectionists while as president (including SC that sought nullification). But his own children ended up being secessionists and went with the Confederacy. Had Jackson been alive, he probably would have killed his kids.
