Not as difficult as it appears

Having never heard of William McGonigall, I had to Google. I assume that the Tay Bridge Disaster is the poem to which you refer - and I would agree that, in that case, McGonigall earned his title as "worst poet in history." Now I shall set forth to find out how the replacement bridge connects to our Civil War.

Anything to do with Grant visiting Dundee and the old bridge after he stepped down as President? Or, perhaps, that the new bridge is somehow part of Riverside Drive in the Scottish town and Grant is buried on Riverside Drive in NYC?
