He was the the Union Army's and Lincoln's "General in Chief" at the end of the war.

Some people may think that if it wasn't for Ulysses S. Grant, there would still be slavery. Lincoln should be given the credit for ending slavery. Grant's leadership (as a general) brought about the end of the civil war. Grant contributed to the end of slavery. Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.

The main explanation for the origins of the American Civil War, especially the issue of the expansion of slavery into the territories and States rights among other things. Another "main reason" for the American Civil war was to prevent the South from leaving America to become an independent country (secede). Lincoln, the North and others did not want America to become a nation divided. See topics:
