Ulysses S. Grant

The Republican party of the 1920's was very respected, although hated by Democrats. Theodore Roosevelt was on of the key presidents from that party during the time period. The republican party then was much more liberal than we know it today. It is also important to remember that America was in a time where prohibition and the effects of WW1 still lingered in the American spot light. Cities began to get larger as people started moving into Urban settings. Legislation then turned to making standards of living better for citizens and the Republican Party had a lot to deal with changing America into the monopoly it would soon be.

Ulysses S Grant's goal's were to be president and win the Civil war.

33,000 were made and range from $80.00 to $125.00 depending on silvers market value and if it is an auction item or not. I paid $86.00 for mine at a coin shop in Fresno, Ca on 6-3-09.

Just chance - you may call it God.

Grant was a modest and self-effacing man, who did not put himself forward for promotion. But his good performance was noticed by John Fremont, a popular figure of the frontier who did not last long as a General, but promoted Grant to Brigadier before he lost his job.

US Grant had come to the conclusion that destroying a Confederate army in the field was near to impossible. This was based not only on his results by by the results of other Union commanders. The Union realized the failure of frontal assaults, and the poor results of generals Hooker, Rosecrans and Meade from flanking from the rear. Only errors by Confederates Pemberton and Floyd allowed their forces to be totally captured by allowing themselves to be pinned against a river. Confederate maneuvering and strong rear guard defenses had proved successful.

At this point Northerners are baffled. One single issue haunts the credibility of the Union army, and it's easy to see why that would be the case.

For example, how many attempts were made to capture Richmond, a city 100 miles south of Washington DC.?

The Trent Affair

The USA's Centennial Exposition opened in Philadelphia in 1876 to celebrate America's first 100 years. On the list for the opening day ceremony was Emperor Don Pedro of Brazil. Don Pedro was the absolute ruler in Brazil and his nation would not abolish slavery for another decade or more.Why President Grant would invite a despotic ruler of a slave nation to the US Centennial remains an open question. One would think US newspapers would be quiet about this is also unknown.

Grant served in the Union army for a total of four years. Prior to that he was in the United States Army for ten years from 1843 to 1853 and resigned as a captain. Following the war he remained in the army until elected president of the US in 1868, and his total military service amounts to 17 years.

Ulysses S Grant is buried in Grant's Tomb, located in Riverside Park by the Hudson River in New York City.

Appomattox Courthouse, in the home of Wilmer McLean. In an ironic twist, McLean had moved there to escape the war.

One of the first battles of the war, at Bull Run, was on the McLean farm- so as said above- they moved to Appomattox. The area surrounding the original courthouse village, including the McClean home, is now a US Battlefield Park, operated by the National Park Service.
