Ulysses S. Grant

Ulysses S. Grant rose from obscurity to command the Union armies in the Civil War, then served two terms as the 18th President. Historians have long debated his legacy: a military genius who preserved the Union, yet a president whose administration was plagued by scandal. In many cases, these gentlemen proved that they were capable of holding both positions equally effectively. In others, whether through poor circumstance or personal ineptitude, they went down in infamy. Many historians argue he was a poor President of the United States, but he is also remembered as the commander who helped preserve the Union.
