(Picture Citation)(Ulysses S Grant. Photograph. 18 Jan. 2009. Web. 3 Mar. 2010.)Ulysses S. Grant’s real name is Hiram Ulysses Grant. He changed his name many times. He hated his name because of the initials of “H.U.G.” Before Grant had become the commander of the Civil War, he had resigned from the army. But by resigning he became a failure at everything. He failed at working on street corners, as a clerk, a farmer, and as a bill collector. Grant had also been friends with Samuel “Mark Twain” Clemens. Also, Grant had died of throat cancer.("Grant, Ulysses S. (1822-1885)." Student Resource Center-Gold. Gale. Web. 28 Feb. 2010.)("Ulysses Simpson Grant." Biography Resource Center. Gale, 1994.
