Liberal Republicans
From 1874 to the end of his administration, President Grant determined he would refrain from serious federal intervention in the South. He had support in the Republican Party for this. Republicans, especially the liberal members opposed involvement there on both philosophical and practical grounds. They and Grant believed that in the midst of the recession, government involvement could only make matters worse.
Horace Greeley was a cranky newspaper editor who carried the liberal republican and democratic banners against Grant. He was the founder and editor of the New York Tribune and a vocal critic of President Ulysses S. Grant's administration. Greeley ran for president in 1872 as the nominee of the Liberal Republican Party and the Democratic Party, but lost to Grant.
General US Grant did not believe in slavery. It's true that at one time he worked on a farm that had slavers, however, in order to be a top general with President Lincoln, he had to oppose slavery.
“Grant takes his cigar – Seymour takes the stump.”
There seems to be some confusion in your question. Ulysses S. Grant was the 18th President of the United States and served from 1869 to 1877. There was no presidential election in 1972 involving Grant or anyone running as a liberal Republican candidate. Richard Nixon, a Republican, ran against George McGovern, a Democrat, in the 1972 presidential election.
Ulysses S. Grant was U.S. Grant- not exactly a nickname.
President Grant. Ulysses S. Grant.
