"The free school is the promoter of that intelligence which is to preserve us as a free nation. If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's, but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition, and ignorance on the other." -- Ulysses Grant, speaking at the annual reunion of the Army of the Tennessee in 1875. #Iowa #DesMoines https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/1/14/2217427/-Ulysses-S-Grant-s-Des-Moines-IA-speech-from-1875-nails-it?pm_campaign=trending&pm_source=sidebar&pm_medium=web
