Ulysses S Grant (born Hiram Ulysses Grant, April 27, 1822 –
July
23, 1885) was the 18th President of the United States
(1869–1877). He achieved international fame in the American
Civil
War, in which he commanded Union forces as a general, and as
general-in-chief (1864–1869).
Military historians usually place Grant in the top ranks of great
generals. He has been described by military historian J. F. C. Fuller
as "the greatest general of his age and one of the greatest strategists
of any age." His Vicksburg Campaign in particular is viewed with
intense scrutiny from military specialists around the world, and he was
the one who forced the surrender of Robert E. Lee at Appomattox. By
contrast, presidential historians rank his administration near the
bottom, primarily because of corruption, even though Grant's own
reputation for personal integrity has remained largely intact. In
recent years, his overall reputation as president has had a resurgence
among some presidential scholars.
