Ulysses S Grant did not run for a third term, although there was some sentiment in the Republican party for him to do so. His decision not to run was based on his own desire to maintain the two term limit that had been the tradition (but not the law) for the American Presidency since George Washington. Also affecting his decision were numerous scandals that occured in his administration concerning misallocation of government monies. Therefore the election of 1876 was between the Democrat Tilden and the Republican Rutherford B Hayes. Tilden received the majority of votes but Hayes won in the electoral college vote and became the 19th President of the United States

In the West, Ulysses S. Grant was beating the Confederates in battle after battle. Eventually, this resulted in a siege of Vicksburg, a major position on a bend of the Mississippi, and a huge economic staple for the South. On July 3rd, the very day that Pickett's charge failed at Gettysburg and the Confederates made ready to retreat back to Virginia, Grant secured an unconditional surrender from the Confederates at Vicksburg.
