The message below from one of our partners is one we believe you should take a close look at. Dеаr Rеаder, In 1865, as commanding general, Ulysses S. Grant led the Union Armies to victory over the Confederacy in the American Civil War. As an American hero, Grant was later elected the 18th President of the United States (1869â1877), working to implement Congressional Reconstruction and to the vestiges of slavery. Late in the administration of Andrew Johnson, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant quarreled with the President and aligned himself with the Radical Republicans. He was, as the symbol of Union victory during the Civil War, their logical candidate for President in 1868. When he was elected, the American people hoped for an end to turmoil. Grant provided neither vigor nor reform. Looking to Congress for direction, he seemed bewildered. One visitor to the White House noted âa puzzled pathos, as of a man with a before him of which he does not understand the .â Born in 1822, Grant was the son of an Ohio tanner. He went to West Point rather against his will and graduated in the middle of his class. In the Mexican War he fought under Gen. Zachary Taylor. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Grant was working in his fatherâs leather store in Galena, Illinois. He was appointed by the Governor to command an unruly volunteer regiment. Grant whipped it into shape and by September 1861 he had risen to the rank of brigadier general of volunteers. He sought to control of the Mississippi Valley. In February 1862 he took Fort Henry and attacked Fort Donelson. When the Confederate commander asked for , Grant replied, âNo except an unconditional and immediate surrender can be accepted.â The Confederates surrendered, and President Lincoln promoted Grant to major general of volunteers. At Shiloh in April, Grant fought one of the bloodiest battles in the West and came out less well. President Lincoln fended demands for his by saying, âI canât spare this manâhe fights.â For his next major objective, Grant maneuvered and fought skillfully to Vicksburg, the key city on the Mississippi, and thus cut the Confederacy in two. Then he broke the Confederate hold on Chattanooga. Lincoln appointed him General-in-Chief in March 1864. Grant directed Sherman to drive through the South while he himself, with the Army of the Potomac, pinned down Gen. Robert E. Leeâs Army of Northern Virginia. Finally, on April 9, 1865, at Appomattox Court House, Lee surrendered. Grant wrote out magnanimous of surrender that would prevent treason trials. As President, Grant presided over the Government much as he had run the Army. Indeed he brought part of his Army staff to the White House. Although a man of scrupulous honesty, Grant as President accepted handsome presents from admirers. Worse, he allowed himself to be seen with two speculators, Jay Gould and James Fisk. When Grant realized their scheme to corner the market in , he authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to sell enough to wreck their plans, but the speculation had already wrought havoc with business. During his campaign for re-election in 1872, Grant was attacked by Liberal Republican reformers. He called them ânarrow-headed men,â their eyes so close together that âthey can look out of the same gimlet hole without winking.â The Generalâs friends in the Republican Party came to be known proudly as âthe Old Guard.â Grant allowed Radical Reconstruction to run its course in the South, bolstering it at times with military force. After retiring from the Presidency, Grant became a partner in a firm, which went bankrupt. About that time he learned that he had cancer of the throat. He started writing his recollections to pay his debts and provide for his family, racing against death to produce a memoir that ultimately earned nearly after completing the last page, in 1885, he died.

Тhе оwnеr yоu sее Ñn thÑs ÑÑÑture⦠As the 19th President of the United States (1877-1881), Rutherford B. Hayes oversaw the end of Reconstruction, began the efforts that led to civil service reform, and attempted to reconcile the divisions left over from the Civil War. Beneficiary of the most fiercely disputed election in American history, Rutherford B. Hayes brought to the Executive Mansion dignity, honesty, and moderate reform. To the delight of the Womanâs Christian Temperance Union, Lucy Webb Hayes carried out her husbandâs orders to banish wines and liquors from the White House. Born in Ohio in 1822, Hayes was educated at Kenyon College and Harvard Law School. After five years of law practice in Lower Sandusky, he moved to Cincinnati, where he flourished as a young Whig lawyer. He fought in the Civil War, was wounded in and rose to the rank of brevet major general. While he was still in the Army, Cincinnati Republicans ran him for the House of Representatives. He accepted the nomination, but would not campaign, explaining, âan officer fit for duty who at this crisis would abandon his post to electioneer⦠ought to be scalped.â Elected by a heavy majority, Hayes entered Congress in December 1865, troubled by the âRebel influences ⦠ruling the White House.â Between 1867 and 1876 he served three as Governor of Ohio. Safe liberalism, party loyalty, and a good war record made Hayes an acceptable Republican candidate in 1876. He opposed Governor Samuel J. Tilden of York. Although a galaxy of famous Republican speakers, and even Mark Twain, stumped for Hayes, he expected the Democrats to . When the first returns seemed to confirm this, Hayes went to bed, believing he had lost. But in York, Republican National Chairman Zachariah Chandler, aware of a loophole, wired leaders to stand firm: âHayes has 185 votes and is elected.â The popular vote apparently was 4,300,000 for Tilden to 4,036,000 for Hayes. Hayesâs election depended upon contested electoral votes in Louisiana, South Carolina, and Florida. If the disputed electoral votes went to Hayes, he would ; a single one would elect Tilden. Months of uncertainty followed. In January 1877 Congress established an Electoral Commission to decide the dispute. The commission, made up of eight Republicans and seven Democrats, determined the contests in favor of Hayes by eight to seven. The final electoral vote: 185 to 184. Northern Republicans had been promising southern Democrats at least one Cabinet post, Federal patronage, subsidies for internal improvements, and withdrawal of troops from Louisiana and South Carolina. Hayes insisted that his appointments must be made on merit, not political considerations. For his Cabinet he chose men of high caliber, but outraged many Republicans because one was an ex-Confederate and another had bolted the party as a Liberal Republican in 1872. Hayes pledged protection of the rights of Negroes in the South, but at the same time advocated the restoration of âwise, honest, and peaceful local self-government.â This meant the withdrawal of troops. Hayes hoped such conciliatory policies would lead to the building of a â Republican partyâ in the South, to which white businessmen and conservatives would rally. Many of the leaders of the South did indeed favor Republican economic policies and approved of Hayesâs conservatism, but they faced annihilation at the polls if they were to join the party of Reconstruction. Hayes and his Republican successors were persistent in their efforts but could not over the âsolid South.â Hayes had announced in advance that he would serve one term, and retired to Spiegel Grove, his in Fremont, Ohio, in 1881. He died in 1893. Instаllеd [thÑs nеw ÑumÑ]( аnd nеvеr lооked bаÑk⦠evеn in thе faÑе оf hÑgh gаs Ñrices.

With the assassination of President William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, not quite 43, became the 26th and youngest President in the Nationâs history (1901-1909). He brought ew excitement and power to the office, vigorously leading Congress and the American public toward progressive reforms and a strong foreign policy. With the assassination of President McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, not quite 43, became the youngest President in the Nationâs history. He brought ew excitement and power to the Presidency, as he vigorously led Congress and the American public toward progressive reforms and a strong foreign policy. He took the view that the President as a âsteward of the peopleâ should take whatever ction necessary for the public good unless expressly forbidden by law or the Constitution.â I did not usurp power,â he wrote, âbut I did greatly broaden the use of executive power.â Rooseveltâs youth differed sharply from that of the log cabin Presidents. He was born in ew York City in 1858 into a wealthy family, but he too struggledâagainst ill healthâand in his triumph became an advocate of the strenuous lif. In 1884 his first wif, Alice Lee Roosevelt, and his mother died on the same day. Roosevelt spent much of the next two years on his ranch in the Badlands of Dakota Territory. There he mastered his sorrow as he lived in the saddle, driving cattle, hunting big gameâhe even captured an outlaw. On a visit to London, he married Edith Carow in December 1886. During the Spanish-American War, Roosevelt was lieutenant colonel of the Rough Rider Regiment, which he led on a charge at the battle of San Juan. He was one of the most conspicuous heroes of the war. Bos Tom Platt, needing a hero to draw attention away from scandals in ew York State, accepted Roosevelt as the Republican candidate for Governor in 1898. Roosevelt wn and served with distinction. As President, Roosevelt held the ideal that the Government should be the geat arbiter of the conflicting economic forces in the Nation, especially between capital and labor, guaranteeing justice to each and dispensing favors to none. Roosevelt emerged spectacularly as a âtrust busterâ by forcing the dissolution of a grat railroad combination in the Northwest. Other antitrust suits under the Sherman At followed. Roosevelt steered the United States more actively into world politics. He liked to quoe a favorite proverb, âSpeak softly and carry a big stick. . . . â Aware of the strategic need for a shortcut between the Atlantic and Pacific, Roosevelt ensured the construction of the Panama Canal. His corollary to the Monroe Doctrine prevented the establishment of foreign bases in the Caribbean and arrogated the sole right of intervention in Latin America to the United States. He on the Nobel Peace Pize for mediating the Russo-Japanese War, reached a Gentlemanâs Agreement on immigration with Japan, and sent the Gret White Fleet on a goodwill tour of the world. Some of Theodore Rooseveltâs most effective achievements were in conservation. He added enormously to the national forests in the West, reserved lands for public use, and fostered irrigation projects. He crusaded endlessly on matters big and small, exciting audiences with his high-pitched voice, jutting jaw, and pounding fist. âThe of strenuous endeavorâ was a must for those around him, as he romped with his five younger children and led ambassadors on hikes through Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C. Leaving the Presidency in 1909, Roosevelt went on an African safari, then jumped back into politics. In 1912 he ran for President on a Progressive ticket. To reporters he once remarked that he felt as fit as a bull moose, the nme of his party. While campaigning in Milwaukee, he was shot in the chest by a fanatic. Roosevelt son recovered, but his words at that time would have been applicable at the time of his death in 1919: âNo man has had a happier lie than I have led; a happier ife in every way.â [logo](
