Question 10 • RMA FL-2100310-United States History Semester 1

Who was Ulysses S. Grant?

Answer
A
the Union general who was credited with winning the Civil War and who was elected president in 1868
B
the Confederate general who surrendered at the end of the Civil War and who was elected president in 1868
C
a member of the US Senate and the first African American politician to serve in Congress
D
a Democratic governor of New York and an unsuccessful presidential candidate in 1876

Explanation

Ulysses S. Grant was the leading Union general in the Civil War and accepted Robert E. Lee’s surrender at Appomattox in 1865. Grant later won the 1868 presidential election, so choice A correctly identifies him. Robert E. Lee was the Confederate general, not Grant.
