The Black Friday Scandal isn't over yet! In Part 2, we’re picking up where we left off as the scheme to corner the gold market begins to unravel and fall apart. The plan sends Wall Street into a tailspin, putting Ulysses S. Grant’s administration under intense scrutiny. As the fallout spreads, the question becomes just how much the people at the top knew and what would happen once the dust finally settled. And we finally address the important question: was Ulysses S. Grant an idiot, corrupt, or just incredibly naïve? Listen to find out and drop your opinions in the comments!
