Ulysses S. Grant had already survived the Civil War and made it all the way to the White House. Surely things couldn’t get much messier…right? In Part 1 of our Black Friday Scandal story, we’re getting into the people closest to Grant and the wild scheme that sent Wall Street into a frenzy. What starts as an attempt to corner the gold market quickly spirals into financial chaos, political connections, and one very messy scandal. And this is only the beginning. Tune in for the first half of one of the most outrageous scandals of Grant’s presidency.
