Detailed explanation-1: -Contents. Ulysses Grant (1822-1885) commanded the victorious Union army during the American Civil War (1861-1865) and served as the 18th U.S. president from 1869 to 1877.
Detailed explanation-2: -6. Grant was the youngest president elected at the time. The former general was 46 years old and never held elected office when he took office in 1869. His inexperience would be a factor in a tumultuous eight-year term amid Reconstruction.
Detailed explanation-3: -When his second term in office ended in March 1877, Grant had gained weight, while he desired to travel the world and visit his daughter in Scotland. Grant began his post-presidential life with a two-year tour that took him and his wife and entourage around the world.
Detailed explanation-4: -Grant was conferred the rank of General of the Armies of the United States, the highest military rank in the Army. Grant joins George Washington and John J. Pershing as the only generals to achieve the rank.
