Ulysses S. Grant was a Born in Point Pleasant Ohio on April 27th, 1822 to a modest middle class family. He graduated in 1843 ranking 21st out of 39 graduating students. Grant then served in the Mexican War. Although he served effectively with Zachary Taylor's army at Monterey and with Winfeild Scott's army in the campaign for Mexico city, where he won two brevets for meritorious conduct, he detested the war.
Grant Married Julia Grant after the war.
On October 25th, 1862, Grant was again restored to a command post of prominence, with his appointment to the Army of Tennessee. He was soon ordered to take Vicksburg, Mississippi. The Vicksburg campaign started off on the wrong foot, with the capture of his base camp at Holly Springs, which caused his retreat in December. However in the spring of 1863, he executed a largely effective campaign and crossed the Mississippi south of Vicksburg. He defeated the forces of Pemberton, leading to the surrender of 20,000 troops. After a fierce 42 day siege, Vicksburg fell on July 4th 1863.
After the war, he was advanced to General in Chief, and served momentarily as Secretary of War under Andrew Johnson. Grant's attempts to protect the southern occupational army soon earned him a presidential candidacy in the radical Republican party. In 1868 he won the election and served for 2 terms. After his terms in office, he went on a two year cruise, and returned to fail to receive the Republican party nomination. After years of cigars, Grant was finally stricken with throat cancer, and during this time, he wrote the Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant, which netted his family $450,000, and became an American classic. Grant died at Mount McGregor, New York on July 23, 1885.
