Ulysses S. Grant was a strong leader, if a little extravagant. Although he was slightly gullible, he was always honest. If I had lived during his presidency, he would have made an excellent president. President Lincoln refused to take him out of the line of duty during the Civil War, telling the press, "I can't spare this man- he fights."
