Detailed explanation-1: -In 1865, as commanding general, Ulysses S. Grant led the Union Armies to victory over the Confederacy in the American Civil War. As an American hero, Grant was later elected the 18th President of the United States (1869–1877), working to implement Congressional Reconstruction and to remove the vestiges of slavery.
Detailed explanation-2: -He served as U.S. general and commander of the Union armies during the late years of the American Civil War. Perhaps Grant’s greatest accomplishment was his capture and control of the Mississippi River, ultimately turning the tide of the Civil War to the north.
Detailed explanation-3: -Grant began his post-presidential life with a two-year tour that took him and his wife and entourage around the world. On returning, Grant was welcomed home with an adoration unknown since the end of the Civil War, and he began to consider running for a third term as president in 1880.
Detailed explanation-4: -He made his reputation in Tennessee, at Fort Donelson and at the Battle of Shiloh. Of his later victories, three that stood out were the Vicksburg, Chattanooga, and the Overland campaigns.
