Ulysses S. Grant

I don't think she had a paying job. She raised six children and was active in her church.

It became a war of attrition. The term and concept of total war was nonexistent in the US Civil War.

The Battle of Atlanta had not been part of Grant's plan. His orders to Sherman were simply to destroy the Army of Tennessee, wherever he found it.

When Sherman had failed to do this, the capture of Atlanta seemed a more desirable objective, partly because it would make big headlines in the North and restore morale, in advance of the 1864 election, which Lincoln believed he would lose on account of Northern war-weariness.

Grant City, Missouri , Grant, Michigan and Grant City , a suburb on Staten Island, are named for U. S. Grant.

He was a union general and later became the 18th president

A few old cronies who liked a drink and a smoke.

Sherman was part of this group, and he became a trusted friend and colleague.

Ulysses S. Grant did not like to stay inside,he loved to stay active.He also didn't like to read Long paged books. he also didn't like school <his least favorite class was reading.

Grant may be said to have invented a new way to wage war, or at least some new strategies in warfare.

The near-impossible task of capturing Vicksburg, the last big Confederate stronghold on the Mississippi.

Then forcing a crossing of the Tennessee River, to save the Army of the Cumberland from starvation.

Finally, ending the war through the simple method of abolishing prisoner-exchange, so that the Confederates were bound to run out of men first.

US Grant had no political experience at all before becoming US President

First inauguration of Ulysses S. Grant happened on 1869-03-04.

Let's see - military aside, a failure at everything he did, five foot eight inches "tall", unkempt, cigar smoking and hard drinking, not at all handsome; YUP! A great find for any woman. No. I doubt he had a mistress, and have not read anything to prove otherwise

yes Ulysses s grant was the 18th president of the united states

Ulysses S. Grant.

He was appointed General-in-Chief of the Union armies in March 1864, and took the surrender of Robert E. Lee at Appomattox in April 1865.

He was US President for two terms - 1869-1877.

Ulysses Grant only wrote one book, his autobiography. The Library of America edition has the ISBN of 0-940450-58-5 should someone want search on line for it. It is of a handy size and contains both volumes of the memoirs and includes selected letters written to his wife, subordinates, congressmen, and Abraham Lincoln. It is a must read for the student of General Grant and the US Civil War.

Yes- the nation was grateful for his role in winning and ending the Civil War. For one thing , the people of Galena, Illinois, where had lived before his rejoined the army, gave him a house. Of course, he was elected president twice and people bought his auto-biography at a record rate for that time. The salary for the president was doubles for his second term, from $25,000 to $50,000. When he died, several; cities wanted to build a tomb for him and New York City won the honor and built one of the most impressive tombs in the country for him .

It was a natural thing to do, for a West Point trained ex-regular.

Since leaving the service, he had been largely unemployed.

His name at birth was Hiram Ulysses Grant. He later changed it to Ulysses Hiram Grant. He just changed the first and middle names order. He was a good president. His name got spelled wrong on a application to go to West Point and he was forced to change his name to go to West Point. The made up S is for his mother's middle name, Simpson.

•He helped establish The Civil Rights Act of 1875 •Grant was the fore leader in establishing the United States as an Industrial trader

He was a flawed human being (he seems to have had a drinking problem-- although there is debate as to how much of it was real and how much was exaggerated by his political enemies; also, at one point in his life, he was very anti-Semitic, but as time passed, he overcame his prejudices), but an excellent general, a good president, and in his later years, a well-respected statesman who met with many world leaders.

He was born at home, as was the custom in those days . Jimmy Carter was the first US president to be born in a hospital.

A fighter, with an instinct for pursuing and destroying the enemy.

A good planner, steady, unflappable, cool in battle.

Modest and unassuming - when he arrived in Washington to receive his commission as General-in-Chief, he wondered who the crowds were cheering for. He didn't realise it was for him.

Also, surprisingly creative for such a plain, ordinary type - figuring out how to get his troops across the Mississippi at Vicksburg, and in the end writing a brilliant book of memoirs when he was broke and dying.

He was one of the presidents during westward expansion. He was president from 1869-1877 and westward expansion was roughly from 1858-1896 i think...
