Ulysses S. Grant (born Hiram Ulysses Grant; April 27, 1822 July 23, 1885) was the 18th President of the United States (186977). As Commanding General of the United States Army (186469), Grant worked closely with President Abraham Lincoln to lead the Union Army to victory over the Confederacy in the American Civil War.<br/><br/>. He implemented Congressional Reconstruction, often at odds with Lincoln's successor, Andrew Johnson.
