Ulysses S. Grant was the commander-in-chief of the United States Army at the end of the Civil War (between 1864 and 1865) and the 18th President of the United States (1869-1877). As commanding general, he worked closely with President Abraham Lincoln leading the Union Army until victory over the Confederate side. With the support of Congress, he implemented Reconstruction, often at odds with President Andrew Johnson. Elected twice as president, he led the Republicans in their effort to eradicate the vestiges of Confederate nationalism and slavery, protected African-American citizenship and fostered economic prosperity.
