 Ulysses S. Grant is best known as the Union general who led the North to victory over the Confederate South during the Civil War. As President he has long been dismissed as weak and ineffective, historians have often ranked Grant's presidency as one of the worst in American history. However some have begun to reexamine and have second thoughts on his presidential administration. Grant inspired great bravery from his soldiers on the battlefield. He was an honorable man who was unable or unwilling to see dishonor in others.
