Did anything happen in 1885 when Ulysses S. Grant was president?

Grant was president from 1869-1877.

The year 1885 was the year of his death from throat cancer, probably brought on by stress, following a scandalous fraud - not involving him - at a bank of which he was a director.

In his last weeks, he was struggling to write his memoirs, so that his family would have something to live on after his death. In this, he was successful. He managed to complete the book, just days before he died. It was a surprisingly good book, from a man who did not look or sound like an author, and it sold very well for years.

He didn't want to.

But after he was ruined by a fraudulent bank director, and contracted throat-cancer, he became alarmed at the prospect of dying and leaving his family destitute. So he wrote his memoirs, to give them something to live on.

Who did Ulysses S. Grant lose his 3rd election too?

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
