Grant, Popes, and Popes

McClellan and Fitz John Porter's best pals at West Point were all fighting for the Confederacy. And McClellan and Porter were violently anti-emancipation. I thought I'd quote a letter from Fitz John Porter, written one month after he refused to attack one order in this battle. Just to show you the tone of Porter's letters, he talks weirdly like a Shakespeare villain.
