Grant's army career was not advancing and he was 32. The Mexican War was over and the Indians were no longer a major threat. He was stationed in California, far from his wife and two children Missouri and his brothers and parents. His father-in-law needed someone to help run his plantation. The army was scaled back after the Mexican War ended, so Grant saw little opportunity for advancement and was more or less forced out.

He resigned the second time after the Civil War ended in order to become acting Secretary of War for President Johnson. He also was thinking about running for President.

He left office at the low point of his popularity. His reputation was severely damaged by the graft trials of the Whiskey Ring. In addition, his image as a war hero was tarnished by corruption scandals during his presidency.
