They lived just outside of St. Louis and in Galena ,Illinois before he was President. Afterward, they lived in upstate New York.

U.S. Congressman, Thomas L. Hamer was pretty much the cause. Hamer erroneously nominated him for the United States Military Academy as Ulysses Simpson Grant, knowing Grant's mother's maiden name and forgetting that Grant was referred to in his youth as "H. Ulysses Grant" or "Lyss". Grant wrote his name in as "Ulysses Hiram Grant" in the West Point registration ledger (concerned that he would otherwise become known by his initials, H.U.G.). West Point's registration adjutant, upon noting the discrepancy between how Grant signed himself in and what was on the official list, advised Grant that he could be registered as Ulysses Hiram Grant, but that the correction had to go to Washington City (D.C.) to be corrected so it could become official. Grant decided, on the spot, to go with the name under which he had been offically nominated by Congressman Hamer, "Ulysses Simpson Grant" but only used the "S" outside of official channels. When asked in the future what "S" stood for he replied it meant nothing in particular. And thus Hiram Ulysses Grant became Ulysses S. Grant.

I do not think he spent any of his own money running for President. He was already famous and popular for winning the Civil War. He was nominated for President without any opposition. People were happy to pay for his campaign.

Ulysess S. Grant didn't get impeached, in fact he was one of the Union generals who was very good at his job in the Civil War. I quote what President Lincoln said about Grant "I can't spare this man-he fights."

Grant was born in Ohio, in the village of Point Pleasant on the Ohio River, about 25 miles from Cincinnati.

Grant was born in a log cabin in Point Pleasant, Clermont County, Ohio, 25 miles east of Cincinnati on the Ohio River. He was the eldest of the six children of Jesse Root Grant (1794-1873) and Hannah Simpson Grant (1798-1883).

If you mean a 1922 Grant Memorial half dollar, two variety's exist. The first issue has a star above GRANT on the front of the coin and is valued at $580.00-$1,060.00 in circulated condition. The second issue has NO star and is valued at $60.00-$110.00 in circulated condition.

He lead the union army to victory and it's because of him we have the term lobbying

He was weighing one hundred and thirty pounds but at his death he weighed less than one hundred pounds.

Steady, unflappable, thorough.

A basically simple man, who was also a good simplifier of problems. His conduct of the Vicksburg campaign displayed brilliant problem-solving skill under difficult conditions, both military and political.

He was also remarkably modest - never felt important. When he arrived in Washington to receive his commission as General-in-Chief, he wondered who all the crowds were cheering for.

His judgment was not infallible, however. In the top job, he badly misjudged the big offensive at Coldharbour, and admitted that it should have never have been ordered. Perhaps worse was his mis-handling of the Battle of the Crater, during the Petersburg siege, which could have ended the war in one day. (The number of differing reports of this event would suggest a lot of blame-shifting.)

He also engaged in long-running feuds with other generals - in particular his boss, H.W.Halleck, and the politician-in-uniform John McClernand, whom Grant was prejudiced against because he was not a West Pointer.

Grant was a devoted family man. His early discharge from the old Army in the desert, due to drinking, can be traced back to his deep unhappiness at being separated from them.

Grant was five-seven of a slight but strong wiry build. He had blue eyes and brown wavy hair. He sported a full beard by the time he became well-known,

Harry Truman. The S. didn't stand for anything.

“Grant takes his cigar – Seymour takes the stump.”

His hair color is nut brown. Butsome people say its black. In pictures i have to go with nut brown.:D

According to Wikipedia the Free Online Encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._fifty_dollar_bill) 1913: A new $50 Gold Certificate with a portrait of Ulysses Grant was issued. The style of the area below Grant's portrait was later used on small-sized notes. 1929: Under series of 1928, all U.S. currency was changed to its current size. All variations of the $50 bill would carry the same portrait of Ulysses S. Grant, same border design on the obverse, and the same reverse with a vignette of the U.S. Capitol. The $50 bill was issued as a Federal Reserve Note with a green seal and serial numbers and as a Gold Certificate with a golden seal and serial numbers.

Grant lead troops into numerous battles during the Civil War. Strictly speaking, he only commanded a specific Corp or Army prior to becoming Lieutenent General and General in Chief of the US Army. After that, he was responsible for all battles fought by US Army personnel, including Sherman's & Sheridan's battles (for example) even though he wasn't actually present near the battlefield. However as the top General he moved with the Army of the Potomac even though that Army was nominally commanded by Meade. Major Battles in the Western Theatre: Belmont, Henry, Donelson, Shiloh, Vicksburg campaign, Chattanooga Battles with the Army of the Potomac during the "Overland" or "Grand" campaign: Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, Petersburg

Grant never received a speeding ticket, because there was no such thing as an automobile during his lifetime.

Grant was 46

Rutherford B. Hayes followed Grant as President of the United States.
