Ulysses S. Grant (born Hiram Ulysses Grant; [a] April 27, 1822 – July 23, 1885) was the 18th president of the United States, serving from 1869 to 1877. As commanding general , Grant led the Union Army to victory in the American Civil War in 1865.
Grant's first Civil War battles occurred while he was in command of the District of Cairo. The Confederate Army, stationed in Columbus under General Leonidas Polk, had violated Kentucky 's military neutrality. Immediately, Grant took the initiative and seized Paducah, Kentucky, on September 5, 1861.
When the Civil War began in 1861, he jumped at the chance to volunteer for military service in the Union army. His first command was as the colonel of the 21st Illinois Infantry, but he was quickly promoted to brigadier general in July 1861, and in September was given command of the District of Southeast Missouri.
When American Civil War hostilities broke out in April 1861, Ulysses S. Grant quickly rose up the Union ranks, advancing from recruitment officer to brigadier general by August of that year.
