Explores the life of Ulysses S. Grant, from his childhood in Ohio, through the Civil War, and to the presidency and after.
Ulysses S. Grant, born Hiram Ulysses Grant (1822- 1885), was an American general and the eighteenth President of the United States (1869-1877). He achieved international fame as the leading Union general in the American Civil War. Grant first reached national prominence by taking Forts Henry and Donelson in 1862 in the first Union victories of the war. The following year, his brilliant campaign ending in the surrender of Vicksburg secured Union control of the Mississippi and-with the simultaneous Union victory at Gettysburg-turned the tide of the war in the North's favor. Named commanding general of the Federal armies in 1864, he implemented a coordinated strategy of simultaneous attacks aimed at destroying the South's ability to carry on the war. In 1865, after conducting a costly war of attrition in the East, he accepted the surrender of his Confederate opponent Robert E. Lee at Appomattox Court House.
Ulysses S. Grant (1822 - 1885) was the Commanding General of the Union Army prior to becoming President. A West Point graduate and veteran of the Mexican-American War, Grant defeated Confederate General Robert E. Lee's army at Appomattox, effectively ending the Civil War. This work brings together President Grant's eight State of the Union Addresses delivered between 1869 and 1876.
