Ulysses S. Grant

The Union - ending up as General-in-Chief of all the Union armies.

He wasn't born to a particularly wealthy family. His personal fortunes varied considerably.

As a retired general, Grant would have had a reasonable pension. However, he forfeited this when he became president, and at the end of his presidency embarked on a world tour that depleted most of his savings. He placed his remaining assets in an investment banking partnership, and his partner swindled him (and other investors), bankrupted the company, and fled. Grant wound up heavily in debt.

He learned about the same time that he had throat cancer. Terminally ill, he began writing his memoirs, finishing them only a few days before his death. Mark Twain had offered Grant a generous contract for the Memoirs, and his family wound up eventually receiving nearly a half million dollars from the book, enough to wipe out the debt. (Congress also voted to restore his military pension, so he had some income while he was writing, but wouldn't have been considered "wealthy" due to his large debts.)

Yes there is a timeline for Ulysses s grant. I know this because I research about Ulysses s grant.

Amy Grant has three children of her own and 2 step children through her second marriage.

someone made it specially for him

He was appointed General-in-Chief of theUnion armies.

Before becoming president, Ulysses S. Grant led the Union army to victory during the Civil War. As president, he worked to implement many of the policies that Lincoln had advocated to bring the former Confederate states back into the Union, and protect the rights of newly-free African Americans.

Despite his many achievements, Grant had a number of personal failings such as a high tolerance for both political corruption and the consumption of alcohol that tainted his legacy as president. Nonetheless, his military leadership gained him a place on American currency that's been held for over a century.

Grant was arrested because he was speeding on his hoarse on Washington street

Hiram Ulysses Grant, more commonly known as Ulysses S. Grant, held the military rank and title of Brigadier General of the Union army of the North during the United States Civil War.

His alcoholism

You may be referring to General James Longstreet, who was a close friend of Grant from when they trained together at West Point.

Longstreet introduced Grant to a distant cousin, whom Grant married. Best Man at the wedding was Longstreet.

A one night stand, if I remember correctly.

US Grant was a quiet and industrious boy who was very good with horses. As a young teenager he was an accomplished trick rider, a skill which led him to become one of the best horsemen in the United States Army. Indeed many historians have wondered why Grant was put in the Infantry by the Army when his skills showed that he could have been an outstanding cavalry man.

They wanted other African Americans to avoid the court and take care of it themselves.

He rejoined the United States Army on the outbreak of war after a few years' absence, in which he was largely unemployed.

The reasons for his earlier departure from the service are not confirmed. We know that he had been posted to a remote desert garrison, where he badly missed his family, and took to drinking a lot.

He may have resigned of his own will. He may have been officially advised to resign. Or he may have been dishonourably discharged.

Absence of evidence, coupled with his own high status as General-in-Chief and later as President, suggest that he may have had enough influence to have a few documents conveniently lost in the files.

He is my great Great ect. uncle, but idont know who he replaced sorry look it up on google

Grant grew up in Georgetown , Ohio.

Most of the slaves that Grant oversaw in Missouri were actually owned by his father-in-law . They were all set free when the Missouri state government abolished slavery.

I think maybe one of his slaves stayed with him to work a free man.

the deaths of nearly 25,000 Union and Confederate troops at the Battle of Shiloh in Tennessee.

Grant was a general in the Union Army for 4 years from May 1861 to April 1865. Following the war he was a general in the US Army and appointed General of the United States Armies in 1866. He would remain a general until he became President of the United States in 1869.He also served briefly as Secretary of War in the Andrew Johnson administration.

He captured Fort Henry on the Tennessee River and Fort Donelson on the Cumberland River.
He won the battle of Shiloh, Vicksburg, and Appomattox.

Grant's first brief was to capture Fort Henry and Fort Donelson. He was ordered there by Henry Halleck.

Not sure what the question means.

Lincoln strongly approved of Grant's actions in the West, and defended him against the Area Commander (Halleck) and other critics, who were liable to cite his supposed drunkenness on duty.

I prefer Ulysses S. Grant.

He owned at least one, named William Jones, whom he set free in 1859.
