Ulysses S. Grant
Ulysses S. Grant was a war hero, a commanding general of the Union Army during the Civil War, before becoming the 18th U.S. President. Grant went to the military academy, West Point, becoming well-known while serving in the Mexican-American War just a few years after graduating. Ulysses S. Grant was very well-liked by the public, mainly for excelling at international relations, for his high moral authority, public persuasion, and most notably for perusing equal justice for all. Grant took a strong stand against the KKK, and appointed both African Americans and Jewish Americans into office for the first time ever.
