===Kid gloves statement=== 
 I found the link for Grant's "kid gloves" statement. This statement came from an interview Grant gave to a rabbi (unknown name). The statement was made in April 1885 and did refer directly to GO11. The full paragraph is found here: Al Kaltman (1998) , Cigars, Whiskey and Winning: Leadership Lessons from General Ulysses S. Grant, page 251  (There was not) time to handle things with kid gloves. But it was no ill feeling or want of good feeling toward the Jews... I believe the quote gives Grant better context...This statement was made about three months before Grant's death.
