∙ 11y agoGrant was a tanners son and grew up working the same trade until he left home to go to the US Military Academy at West Point. After graduation, he received a commission as an officer in the army and did that for many years. After the Mexican War ended, the size of the army was cut back. Grant was sent to California, far from his wife and family and his army career was not advancing, so he quit and went to work running his father-in-laws farm near St. Louis. That career didn't really work out for him, so he began cutting lumber and tried various other business ventures, none of which was very successful. When the war started. he had moved to Galena , Illinois and was working for his brother and father in the leather business. He decided to return to the army and was taken back in as a "Volunteers Officer". After some success as a recruiter, he was given a command, won some battles and was promoted regularly . When the war ended, he was the commander of all union forces and was hailed as the general who won the war. He was made acting Secretary of the Army and soon was elected US President .

∙ 12y agoHe was General Grant of the Union Army, and his job was to defeat the Confederate Sates of America, Although the Confederacy was sorely undermanned, no munitions, no shoes, no warm clothes, because the South had the brilliant tactical and military leaders who were well experienced in horsemanship, superb maneuvers and proper protocol for winning tactics, it took 4 years for them to beat the Confederacy. General Robert E Lee of Virginia. head commander of the Confederate troops, surrendered to Grant at Appamattox Court House in Virginia is 1865, the bloodiest war in the history of the USA
