Did Ulysses S. Grant get his nickname US grant at the battle of bull run?
No. Hiram Ulysses Grant got his nickname when he applied for West Point. A clerical error on the paperwork admitted him as Ulysses S Grant, and he decided it was easier to change his name than to have the paperwork corrected. US Grant isn't really a "nickname" so much as it was his initials after the name change. His classmates called him "Sam", though the S "didn't stand for anything" according to Grant himself (it was probably originally meant to stand for "Simpson", his mother's maiden name). However, he got his much better nickname "Unconditional Surrender" Grant after the Battle of Fort Donelson. When the Confederate commander (who was a friend of Grant's) asked him for surrender terms, Grant replied "No terms except unconditional and immediate surrender can be accepted." Grant couldn't have gotten his nickname "at the Battle of Bull Run" because he wasn't in it... he was in Illinois training the 21st Illinois Volunteers at the time of the first one, and during the second one he was commanding the Army of the Tennessee, headquartered in Corinth, Mississippi.
