He achieved international fame as the leading Union General in the American Civil War. Named commanding General of the Federal armies in 1864, he implemented a coordinated strategy of simultaneous attacks aimed at destroying the South's ability to carry on the war.

In 1868, Grant was elected President as a Republican. Grant was the first President to serve two full terms since Andrew Jackson forty years prior. Grant led Radical Reconstruction and built a powerful patronage-based Republican party in the South. Ulysses S.
