What was general Ulysses S. Grant was known for?

Answer 1

His appointment as General-in-Chief in March 1864, and winning the Civil War by ending the system of prisoner exchange, so that the Confederates would eventually run out of men.

Also for appointing Sheridan and Sherman as his associate Generals - both being highly effective leaders, Sherman in particular displaying creative originality at odds with his image as the hard-driving savage.

Answer 2

Ulysses S. Grant was a general of the Northern Union Army what was the force that sided with the cause of ending slavery. He fought battles and even captured a Confedrate army in 1862. He fought battles against Robert E. Lee in the Overland Campaign. He was promoted by President Abraham Lincoln to lieutenant general for a victory in Chattanooga. He created series of campaigns. When the Union Army broke through the trenches, they captured the Confederate capital of Richmond in 1865. Finally Robert E. Lee surrendered all Confederate forces to Ulysses S. Grant. After all his accomplishments he was later elected as President of the United States

Answer 3

He was a basically simple man who was good at simplifying problems.

He liberated the Mississippi, then rescued the Army of the Cumberland from starvation, and was rewarded with the job of General-in-Chief.

He took the painful step of ending the system of prisoner-exchange, causing atrocious conditions in the overcrowded prison-camps, as the Confederates steadily ran out of manpower and had to surrender.

As President, he was less successful ('Ulysses the Useless'), and he was swindled by a bank who had given him a seat on the board to raise their profile. The strain of this incident brought on throat-cancer, and he reluctantly wrote his memoirs, to give his family something to live on after his death. These were emarkable well-written, by someone who didn't look as though he would write a good book, and they sold well for years. He finished them just days before he died.

He is known for being a great military leader, our 18th President, and the man on the $50 dollar bill.

Answer 5
