"Ulysses don't scare worth-a-damn!" went the saying. He was a man totally without nerves, quite happy to go on chatting or writing reports while shells exploded all round him.

The only time he got nervous was in November-December 1864 when George Thomas refused to be rushed into launching the Battle of Nashville.

Grant kept thinking that the Army of Tennessee would find its way into Virginia and come to the aid of Robert E. Lee, and ordered Thomas to attack at once.

Thomas wasn't quite ready, and when he was, the temperature suddenly dropped below zero, covering the field with ice. While Grant was on his way to Nashville to fire Thomas for insubordination, the ice melted, and Thomas attacked at last - with spectacular success. (And he never got fired!)

By descent, yes.

Political scandals during Grant's presidency.

Technically, No he did not "Stop" the Ku Klux Klan. Though in 1871, he signed the "Ku Klux Klan Act"

He was a West Point trained officer, who had quit the service, but rejoined on the outbreak of war.

Stationed in the Western theatre, he was talent-spotted by General Fremont, and then won several of the early Union victories, earning glory for his superior, Henry Halleck, who was soon made General-in-Chief.

Ulysses S. Grant took command of the Union Armies during the final years of the US Civil War receiving full command of the troops in early 1864. He was appointed by US President Lincoln. Grant was also given the special title of Lieutenant General. Grant has been given credit for the general that defeated the South. This had been the title of George Washington and no other US general ever had it until it was given to Grant. The Confederacy used the title of lieutenant general during the war.

The Trading Post Ring was a scandal during the Grant administration, in 1870. Right after the Whiskey ring, Grant had no time to recover before this new scandal erupted involving his Secretary of War, William Belknap. In 1870, Native American trading posts were generating a high profit, but to the expense of the Natives. Belknap and his wife found a way to fund a private trading post that generated profits for them, and not for the country. During the investigation, Grant found out, and when he and Belknap were scheduled to have a meeting, Belknap announced his resignation.

He ride him the mule\ into beastiality.

The area of Grant's Tomb is 3,075.6108810240003 square meters.

Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant

haha who ever goes on this is people that need help with essays.

In 1868, Grant carried Florida, Alabama, North and South Carolina, Arkansas and Tennessee in the South. 1872 was the same in the South. except that Grant lost Tennessee but carried Louisiana. There were restrictions on letting whites southerners vote and organize parties . The blacks had reason to like Grant, I think.

ANSWER

On Apr.30,1862 Gen. Grant was "De facto" exonerated from his command and relegated to the function of "Vice Commander" with but no effective decision power, by Gen. Halleck. Halleck actually wanted to totally dismiss Grant for his failure to properly fortify his position. Grant was surprised by the Confederate attack on his forces.

His father asked a senator he knew to fill out the paperwork so Ulysses could go to West Point. Because this senator didn't take time to ask he wrote Ulysses's name down wrong as Ulysses S. Grant. His real name was Hiram Ulysses Grant.
