When u.s Grant had been young he had loved horses. When he was at West Point he was good with horses. But one day when he was taking care of one of the horses and it started to annoy him. He let himself get so angry, he punched the horse. After that he was almost expelled, even though he was easily the best horse back rider of them all.

Fortunately, they kept him and he graduated West Point. When he was finished he was required to spend 4 years in the army. During his first year in the army he spent a lot of time at a family friends house. His and their family got along well except for one thing. Slavery.

When he headed that he had to move sites, he rushed over to her house with flowers and a ring and her to Mary him

4 years later he quit the army to be with his family. But he was not with his family for long. 6 years later South Carolina withdrew itself from the union, then 10 states follow and the civil war begins. The second Ulysses headed about it he automatically volunteered to fight in the war

Later, after the war was over Abraham Lincoln invited Ulysses and his wife to see a movie with them. But Julia very much disliked Abrahams wife so they decided not to go. This was there best and worst decision they had ever made. A southerner named john Wilkes booth was planning to kill both of them. Fortunately and unfortunately Ulysses was not there. He regretted the decision for the rest of his life

A Vice President took over named Andrew Johnson. He was un just and cruel. He treated former slaves like rodents and took pity on the slave owners.
