Question 11

Assess the presidency of Ulysses S.Grant.

Accepted Answer

Ulysses S. Grant's presidency is often evaluated as a mixed bag. On one hand, he was a strong advocate for civil rights and worked to protect the rights of African Americans in the South during Reconstruction. He also made efforts to reform the federal government, reduce corruption, and promote economic growth.
