After Andrew Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant became the President of the United States. Grant, a Civil War general who played a crucial role in the Union victory, was elected as the 18th president in 1868.
Andrew Johnson served as president from 1865 to 1869, following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. His presidency was marked by significant challenges, including a turbulent reconstruction era and conflicts with Congress. Despite attempting to unify the country after the Civil War, his approach led to his impeachment by the House of Representatives, although he was acquitted by the Senate.
Grant’s presidency focused on Reconstruction efforts and managing the post-war economy. He was re-elected in 1872, and his leadership is often noted for both its achievements and controversies, particularly surrounding issues of corruption within his administration.
