Ulysses S. Grant was born on April 27, 1822 in Point Pleasant, Ohio. He died in July 23, 1885 because of throat cancer. He was also president of the United States 1869-1877. Ulysses S. Grant is personally my hero and not only because he was a great general he was also a hard working and determined man. He was a very respected general in the north during the civil war. He first became a hero at the battle of Vicksburg when he asked for no terms when the south accepted defeat. All he asked for was unconditional surrender. He also lead the union to one of the biggest battles, the battle of Shiloh, which was a union victory and lasted two days. On the first day, he was driven back, but having got re-enforcements he beat the south. At the end of the war, he shook hands with another great general Robert E. Lee and let them keep their horses. Therefore, Ulysses S. Grant is my Hero.
