Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site
As the nation celebrates Ulysses S. Grant’s 200th birthday in 2022, popular interest in the Civil War general and two-term president is at an all-time high. However, popular stereotypes about Grant’s personal characteristics and life experiences remain within popular memory. Was Grant an uncaring general who had no regard for his troops? Was he an alcoholic who engaged in destructive behavior? In this presentation, Park Ranger Nick Sacco (Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site) looks to address various claims about Grant and uncover the characteristics of a deeply complex person who faced serious challenges during his lifetime.
