Late in the administration of Andrew Johnson, General Ulysses S. Grant quarrel with the chairman and the radical Republicans. He was, as the symbol of Union victory during the Civil War, the logical candidate for the presidency in 1868.
When he was elected, the American people hoped for an end to the unrest. Allowance intended nor power, nor to reform. With respect to Congress for direction, he seemed confused. A visitor to the White House noted "surprised pathos, like a man with a problem for him he does not understand the terms."
Grant was born in 1822, the son of a tanner, Ohio. He went to West Point rather against his will, and graduated in the middle of his class. In the Mexican War he fought under Gen. Zachary Taylor.
At the outbreak of the Civil War, Grant was working in his father's leather store in Galena, Illinois. He was appointed by the Governor to an unruly volunteer regiment command. Grant whipped it into shape and in September 1861 he had risen to the rank of brigadier general of volunteers.
He tried to take control of the Mississippi Valley to get. In February 1862 he attacked Fort Donelson and Fort Henry. "No words can be, except for an unconditional and immediate surrender accepted." As the Confederate commander asked for terms, Grant replied: The allies did Grant and President Lincoln promoted Major General of volunteers.
At Shiloh in April, Grant fought one of the bloodiest fighting in the west and was not well. President Lincoln fended off demands for his removal by saying: "I can not spare this man, he fights -."
For his next major objective, Grant maneuvered and fought professionally to Vicksburg, the key to the city on the Mississippi River to win, and thus the Confederacy cut in half. Then he broke the Confederate hold to Chattanooga.
Lincoln appointed him General-in-Chief in March 1864. Fair is aimed Sherman driving through the south, while he himself, with the army of the Potomac, to General Robert E. Lee 's Army of Northern Virginia to remember.
Finally, on 9 April 1865, at Appomattox Court House capitulated, Lee. Grant wrote the generous terms of surrender that would prevent treason trials.
As president, Grant headed the Government much as he lead the army. In fact, he spent some of his military staff of the White House.
Although a man of integrity, Grant took over as president of the wonderful gifts of admirers. Worse, he let himself seen with two speculators, Jay Gould and James Fisk. Grant then their plan, the corner market realized in gold, he authorized the Minister of Finance to sell enough gold to wreck their plans, but speculation is already raging in the economy.
During his campaign for reelection in 1872, Grant was attacked by Liberal Republican reformers. He called them "narrow-headed men," their eyes so close together that "they bore the same look without blinking." The General Assembly of friends in the Republican Party was proudly called "the old guard."
Scholarship may Radical Reconstruction to run its course in the south, strengthening it even with military force.
After his retirement from the Presidency, Grant became a partner in a financial company that went bankrupt. Around this time he learned he had cancer of the larynx.He began to write his memoirs for his debts and his family, racing against death, a memoir that ultimately earned nearly $ 450,000 to produce. Soon after finishing the last page, in 1885, he died.
