Two famous Americans are buried in the Calvary Catholic Cemetary in Saint Louis: General William Tecumseh Sherman and former slave Dred Scott. Sherman's grave is on the high ground of the cemetery, while Scott's is on the low ground:
Sherman, as you know, was a famous Civil War general who was one of the strongest advocates of total war. Scott was a slave who sued for his freedom and the freedom of his family, but who was told by the court that he had no standing to bring such a suit.
Interestingly, the courthouse where Scott first brought his suit stands just to the west of the Gateway Arch in Saint Louis and the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial which is beneath the arch:
When it was suggested that Sherman run for President, he said "I will not accept if nominated and will not serve if elected." If Sherman had been elected, that apparently would have made him the first Catholic President. Instead, John Kennedy became the first (and only) Catholic President, and we all know what happened to him. Did Sherman know something about the US deep state that we don't know?
Sherman was given the honor of being allowed to officially designate the site of the so-called Statue of Liberty (a.k.a. The Mother Of Harlots), so I suspect he knew quite a bit of what the US deep state was all about:
