Ulysses S. Grant – 1869–1877.

A former Union general and Civil War hero, Ulysses S. Grant enters the White House at a time when the United States is still rebuilding at home and asserting itself abroad. His presidency sees the Treaty of Washington and the Alabama Claims with Britain, tensions with Spain over Cuba, the attempted annexation of Santo Domingo, and American neutrality during the Franco-Prussian War.
