We start as Kid meets someone famous in Eternity...
So Grant accompanies Kid and Mr. Keeper to Earth. And it is total war!!
Anyway, a surprising amount of 1946 plantation employees are able to recognize Ulysses S. Grant on sight...maybe their were all paid in $50 bills?
And then we learn the danger of sending a military man in as your negotiator: he sees every problem as having a military solution!
Still, rather than try to reign in Grant, Kid does about the stupidest things he could do...
Oh, dear.
Clearly, in modern times Lee is a much more...controversial...figure than he was in those days. Indeed, back then many chose to portray as a noble warrior in a noble lost cause. Some even argued that Lee was greater than Lincoln, as this snippet from Superior Stories #3 (1955) shows:
Today, of course, that tide has shifted for many, and Kid probably wouldn't get away with summoning Lee.
Not to mention of course, by bringing in another super-general, you're just going to increase the fighting and bloodshed!
Well, Lincoln has a good idea--have Kid use his powers the way he should have in the first place!!
Look, Kid, this is the second time you've faced a similar problem, and not thought of this until the end. Can we make a rule? If some knowledge from a recently deceased person could solve the problem...THE FIRST THING YOU SHOULD DO IS SUMMON THAT PERSON!!
Anyway, Abe's very presence is enough to stop everyone from fighting!
And Dad resolves everything.
