Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site

<p>Just a few years after the Civil War had ended, the nation faced the challenge of putting&nbsp;the nation back together. Dissatisfaction over President Andrew Johnson’s reconstruction&nbsp;policies persuaded the war hero, Ulysses S. Grant to run for the office of president in 1868.</p>


<p>Park historian Nick Sacco will explore the dynamics surrounding Grant’s decision to seek&nbsp;the presidency and the ramifications of that decision, both politically and personally. The&nbsp;program is free. Call 314-842-1867 ext. 230 for reservations.</p>
