Als Opperbevelhebber van het Leger van de Unie en later President van de Verenigde Staten werd Grant een sleutelfiguur in de Amerikaanse geschiedenis. Zijn militaire carrière culmineerde in de overwinning tijdens de Burgeroorlog, waar hij blijk gaf van strategisch en agressief leiderschap. Later, tijdens zijn presidentschap, zette hij zich in voor burgerrechten, hoewel zijn ambtsperiode werd ontsierd door schandalen. Zijn memoires, geschreven in de laatste maanden van zijn leven, worden beschouwd als een literaire prestatie en een waardevol historisch document.
