Citizen Grant: Ulysses Grant as Civil War General and Reconstruction President

GENINT 741.475

Osher (50+). In this course, we explore the career of Ulysses Grant.

About this course:

Ulysses S. Grant was one of America's most interesting and controversial common-man leaders. In 1865, as commanding general, Grant led the Union Armies to victory over the Confederacy in the American Civil War. He was later elected the 18th President of the United States (1869–1877). In this course, we explore his unexceptional military career up to the civil war, his emergence as President Lincoln's key military leader, and his emergence as Lincoln's heir in the White House, as he tried to fulfill on the promise of the reconstruction but ultimately oversaw an age known more for tragedy and corruption. This course will be recorded. Students will have access to videos for the duration of the course.
