The final commander of the Union Army was future President Ulysses Grant.
Grant rose to fame with the Vicksburg campaign and accepted General Lee's surrender at Appomattox.
Five key factors that eventually led to the convening of the constitutional convention would be the war debt of the US, Shay's Rebellion, the Whiskey Rebellion, a lack of oversight over the states, and the Federalist Papers.
Cherokee Indian Cases (1830s)

In the cases Cherokee Nation v. Georgia (1831) and Worcester v. Georgia (1832), the U.S. Supreme Court considered its powers to enforce the rights of Native American "nations" against the states. In Cherokee Nation, the Court ruled that it lacked jurisdiction (the power to hear a case) to review claims of an Indian nation within the United States. In Worcester, the Court ruled that only the United States, and not the individual states, had power to regulate or deal with the Indian nations.
