Today we'll be talking about Daniel Sickles. Corrupt politician, American hero, cuckold, and god awful general. He truly wore many hats back in his day. And boy did he love partying and whoring his way through life. He truly did some awesome shit. Then followed it up with some real obnoxious shit, then thought that he could become a general. Which technically yea, he did do. But he was also responsible for one of the greatest fuck ups of the Civil War, and got semi-snubbed (deservedly) for it. Enjoy!
