Detailed explanation-1: -Grant entered the White House on March 4, 1869, politically inexperienced and, at age 46, the youngest man theretofore elected president.
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: -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-4: -In 1839, seventeen-year-old Hiram Ulysses Grant received an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point. It changed the course of his life-and his name. Grant always disliked his first name and was commonly known by his middle name.
