Noble. 55 Grant, impelled by self-respect, elevated by his manly nature and taught by severe experience, declared for free labor and the equality of all men before the law. He entered the Union Army because in that organized force was the power to maintain these principles and there was a necessity for its immediate use. He became first a mustering oflScer, then a colonel, by the friend- ship of Washburne and by the more distinguished favor of the Gov^ernor of Illinois.

He was not a man of pretentious superiority : he was great and self-reliant; but he was of the utmost simplicity in thought and method.
