Ulysses S. Grant

Ulysses S. Grant (April 27, 1822 – July 23, 1885) was the 18th President of the United States of America, serving from 1869 to 1877. Prior to his presidency, he was the commanding General of the Union Army in the American Civil War.

Background
Prior to his presidency (1869–1877), Grant graduated from West Point and served in the Mexican–American War before joining the Union Army during the American Civil War. A strategical genius, he quickly rose to general, and won a number of battles under his command, eventually culminating in Confederate General Robert E. Lee's surrender to Grant. His stubbornness and knack for war secured victory for the Union and restored the United States under a single flag once more. He attempted to achieve a third term in office in 1880, but was unsuccessful, and died five years later.

Appearances
Ulysses S. Grant is mentioned in Fallout 3, the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road, and Fallout 76.
