‘Grant’ Preview
This new six-hour miniseries comes on the heels of the highly-successful Washington miniseries, which earned 2.6 million total viewers as it told the story of George Washington and Revolutionary War. Now, Grant examines the life of one of the “most complex and underappreciated generals and presidents in U.S. history – Ulysses S. Grant,” says the press release.
“Ulysses S. Grant is one of our most brilliant, yet misunderstood presidents and History is committed to telling the compelling stories, like his, of those who have shaped our great nation,” said Eli Lehrer, Executive Vice President and General Manager for History. “This is an important part of American history that deserves to be told and we look forward to delivering our latest premium core history documentary series to our audience.”
The miniseries does a deep dive on Grant, who “overcomes incredible obstacles, rises to the highest ranks of power and saves the nation not once, but twice.”
“With a seamless blend of dramatic scenes, expert commentary and beautifully enhanced archival imagery, this series uncovers the true legacy of the unlikely hero who led the nation during its greatest tests: The Civil War and then Reconstruction – the herculean task of reconciling the North and the South.”
“During this time, Grant acted as a pillar of strength when our country suffered its greatest-ever loss of American life. One of the most courageous and unexpected initiatives of Grant’s presidency was protecting the right to vote for the four million formerly enslaved people freed at the end of the war in the face of violent and widespread resistance.”
The miniseries features interviews with top experts in the field, including retired United States Army General and former Central Intelligence Agency director David Petraeus, acclaimed author and journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates, and professor of English at West Point Elizabeth Samet.
Grant premieres Monday, May 25 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on the History Channel. Parts II and III air on consecutive nights, May 26 and May 26, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
