To me a hero is someone who knows what to do in a time of need. Someone who is brave and a leader. someone who never gives up on what he believes in.

Intro:

His life: Ulysses S. Grant's life was pretty nice. He was born Hiram Ulysses Grant at first then changed it to Ulysses Simpson Grant. He was born in Point Pleasant, Ohio, on April 27, 1822. During his presidency like all presidents he wanted to help the American public with all of their problems. He did this because he didn't want the country to go into bankruptcy. He made all this happen by gaining the people's trust and past a lot of bills to make things run smoothly in the U.S. This was important because he wanted to be a person who listened to the people's problems and help them with it and not just stand there and let the U.S plummet to the ground.

Why my guy is a hero: I think Ulysses S. Grant is a hero because he was a leader to many people including to war soldiers. This was because he was a general. During the Civil War while the U.S was in denial, Grant lead them through war and got most of the troop’s home safely. This makes him a hero because he was a leader in a time of need and doubt. Another thing that Grant did was that when he was forced to resign from the army he went looking for a new job. He tried so many things and tried so hard to find work like farming and different types of buisness ethics. Grant finally found a job after 7 years of struggle. He became a clerk. That makes him a hero because he never gave up on something he beleived in.

his legacy: During Ulysses S. Grant's long life, he had many kind and thoughtful things that were left behind. One thing he left behind was the book he wrote. He died a few days after the manuscript was finished. He left it to support his family.
