What was the mian accomplish meant of president Ulysses S. Grant?

He was the winning Civil War general and a popular hero, and those were his only qualifications for being president.  He didn't have any great vision for presidential accomplishments, so he essentially kept federal troops in the south and allowed radical reconstruction policies to continue as dictated by congress.

Well, Nevada is correct, but I do not see any reference to this connection in the wikipedia article cited above.\n\nInstead try:\nhttp://www.vcnevada.com/history.htm\n\nBUT it wasn't simply the need of the gold that led Lincoln to rush Nevada to statehood, and one could argue whether the silver was the most IMPORTANT reason to Lincoln's mind.  \n\nAt the time he was also trying to get the 13th amendment passed.  It came up a little short in the House in June of 1864, so clearly it was a struggle.  Lincoln hoped to push it through the next time (and finally succeeded on January 31, 1865), but would still need 3/4 of the states to ratify it.  THAT was a major reason for his wanting an additional state (and note that they were already getting MONEY from Nevada before this --but it couldn't give them those votes except as a STATE!)\n\nAs War Department official Charles A. Dana wrote:\n   "In order thus to amend the Constitution, it was necessary first to have the proposed amendment approved by three-fourths of the States. When that question came to be considered, the issue was seen to be so close that one State more was necessary. The State of Nevada was organized and admitted into the Union to answer that purpose. I have sometimes heard people complain of Nevada as superfluous and petty, not big enough to be a State; but when I hear that complaint, I always hear Abraham Lincoln saying, 'It is easier to admit Nevada than to raise another million of soldiers.'"\nhttp://www.mrlincolnandfreedom.org/inside.asp?ID=56&subjectID=3

Hi, First Grant had nothing to do with Gettysburg he was at Vicksburg. General Meade was just appointed commander of the Army of the Potomac. John Reynolds a ranking Corp Commander was killed the first day and was replaced by Hancock who then commanded the First, Second, and Third Corps — three-fifths of the Union army and was considered by most the hero of Gettysburg. Hope this helps. God Bless You and The Southern People.

Which office?  If you mean President of the U.S., that would be Franklin D. Roosevelt.  Yeah, ya might say he was pretty successful, winning a war and all.

I am not entirely sure of the context of your question.  Aside from being one of the most intelligent and educated presidents in the nation's history, Carter had two major achievements in spite of his inability to work with his party (of which he had a majority in both houses).  First, I would argue were the peace accords brokered at Camp David between Begin and Sadat, settling a series of wars between Egypt and Israel that had been stalling any sort of peace in the region for over 20 years.  Secondly, the Panama Canal Treaty was ratified under his administration.  Carter's primary problem, if you can call it that, was that he was a 'micro manager.'  He left very little up for discretion for members in his party's leadership in congress and here in lay his weakness.  I am not sure what you mean 'follow through on' though.

Yes.  In fact, it is his taking command of the retreating American forces that prevents the British from claiming a clear and decisive victory at Monmouth.  (The American commander, General Lee, believed that the Americans could not go to-to-toe with the British regulars - to which Washington replied "Sir, they are able, and by God they shall do it!")

Abraham Lincoln was President during Juarez' first term. Andrew Johnson was President during the first couple of years of his second term, and Ulysses S. Grant was President for the rest.

Ulysses S. Grant, poor man, will probably hang on to his worst President ranking for some time to come.\n\nHaving said that, this President has, for all his vaunted business experience, done a particularly crappy job in choosing and managing people.\n\nAnd they, in turn, have done a particularly crappy job in running the Administration.

It was one of the contributory causes. The North wanted to weaken the institution while the South wanted to preserve it. The South believed that President Lincoln intended to end it contributing to secession. \n\nLincoln initially declared his purpose to be the preservation of the Union, not emancipation. He had no wish to alienate the thousands of slaveholders in the Union border states, some of whom stayed loyal. The long war radicalised the Governments policy. With the Emancipation Proclamation, announced in September 1862 and put into effect four months later, Lincoln adopted the abolition of the Slave Power as a second mission—that is slaves owned by rebels had to be taken away from them and freed.

Manifest Destiny\n\nNo nation ever existed without some sense of national destiny or purpose. Manifest Destiny -- a phrase used by leaders and politicians in the 1840s to explain continental expansion by the United States -- revitalized a sense of "mission" or national destiny for many Americans.

In 1916, Francisco Villa, leader of the peasant uprisings in northern Mexico, raided Columbus, New Mexico, in an attempt to expose Mexican government collaboration with the United States. President Woodrow Wilson responded by ordering an invasion of Mexico. Five years after the beginning of the Mexican Revolution, which was characterized by hope for social change as well as death, hunger, and violence, many Mexicans did not welcome further involvement by the U.S. In the following correspondence, Secretary of State Robert Lansing and President Wilson described the need to carefully frame the invasion as a defense of U.S. borders rather than interference in the Mexican Revolution. The resulting invasion, led by General John Pershing, was a total fiasco. It failed to locate Villa and increased anti-U.S. sentiment and Mexican nationalist resolve. \n\n\n\nGo here for more information \n\nhttp://historymatters.gmu.edu/d/4947/

Union:  at first, Winfield Scott led the forces, but "old fuss and feathers" was too old for the job...\nLincoln tried McClellan (and many others!!) but McClellan was nicknamed "tardy" for a reason--he didn't win decisively enough or pursue the Confederates\nUltimately, Lincoln gave the honors to Ulysses Hiram Simpson Grant\nfor the Confederacy---while there were many great generals (Johnston, for example) it was Robert E Lee who commanded (no pun intended) the greatest respect...and the one who surrendered for the CSA in April of 1865

The North considered it a victory because they defeated the confederate army in the field costing irreplaceable men and supplies.\n\nThe Confederate army considered it a victory because they thought they had fought to union army to a stand still since the union army did not follow them in their retreat back to the south.\n\nThe real reason the union army did not follow up, was because they had to split their forces after the battle.\n\nHalf the union army had to force march to New York City to put down pro-confederate riots and to keep New York from succeeding from the union.and pulling out of the war altogether

Patient, and bulldog stubbornesslike U.S. Grant, no matter what the casualties, just send his superior forces in.  In a battle of attrition, he surely would've won.  \n\nThe Greeks attacked his ships while they were bottled up coming thru the straits.  The Persians couldn't bring their full force to bare and where defeated piecemiel.  I guess his patience could've shown by not giving battle near the opening of the straits but in more open water....where his numbers wouldn've been the determining factor.
