From Grantipedia

"He was so pervaded by greatness that he seemed not to be conscious that he was great."*

Grantipedia is meant to describe the accomplishments of US Grant and to defend his legacy where necessary. Many decades passed during which the historical record of Grant was diminished and defamed, and Grantipedia responds to, rebuts, or explains the false yet enduring caricature of this great American. Although Grant would not find Grantipedia necessary, it is offered to fair-thinking Americans as a balance to Grant's current historical memory. By policy, Grantipedia will not contain material that Grant would not approve himself.

"Soldiers and the people saw in Grant...not one of themselves, not a plain man of the people, nor yet a superior being whom they could not understand, but a personification of their highest ideal of a citizen, soldier, or statesman, a man whose greatness they could see and understand as plainly as they could anything else under the sun." ***
