Ulysses S. Grant (born Hiram Ulysses Grant; April 27, 1822 – July 23, 1885) was an American soldier and politician who served as the 18th president of the United States from 1869 to 1877. As president, Grant worked with the Radical Republicans in the Reconstruction of the Union while having to deal with corruption in his administration. In his retirement, Grant was the first president to circumnavigate the world on his tour meeting with many foreign leaders. The boy's name, Ulysses, was drawn from ballots placed in a hat. To honor his father-in-law, Jesse declared the boy named Hiram Ulysses, though he would always refer to him as Ulysses.
