On April 9, 1865, Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered his army to Grant at Appomattox Court House.
Grant remained as commander of the army following the end of the war. President Johnson sent him on a “fact-finding mission of the South” in late 1865. On July 25, 1866, Congress promoted Grant to the newly created rank of General of the Army of the United States.
When President Johnson attempted to remove Secretary of War Stanton and give to General Grant, he held his beliefs and gave the office back to Stanton, because he refused to violate the Tenure of Office Act. This move and other issues lead to President Johnson’s impeachment.
In 1868, the Republican Party nominated Grant as a presidential candidate. His wife was excited and worked hard to campaign on his behalf.

President Grant refused to run for a third term and left the White House on March 4, 1877.
A few weeks later, he and Julia embarked on a two year world trip.
Upon return, he was left depleted of his savings. When a business deal went wrong, the family was left destitute. Grant began to write articles about his Civil War campaigns to bring in money for the family.
He eventually wrote his memoirs and also sold or donated to the federal government many of his souvenirs.
In summer of 1884, he was diagnosed with throat cancer. He made his last appearance that year on August 4, at a service for Civil War veterans. He was met with a standing ovation.
He continued to work diligently on his memoirs, which end with the Civil War. He accepted an offer for publication from his friend Mark Twain, who called them “a literary masterpiece”.
Four days after completing his memoirs, he died on July 23, 1885. He was laid in a temporary tomb, until the completion of Grant’s Tomb in New York. Grant’s Tomb was dedicated on April 15, 1897.
In eulogies by the press, Grant was likened to George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
His writing of memoirs set a precedence for future ex-presidents as a way to earn money. His accomplishments as President have been overlooked due to corruption charges of his Cabinet members and appointees during his administration.
President Grant is also pictured on the $50 bill.

For all these services, I had signed up on their original website, before Apple TV supported them. HBO no, but I have that through DirecTV.
Since I use Netflix on my Apple TV, along with any other device in my home, that supports it, does Apple get anything from that?
No, if you signed up outside of Apple TV (regardless of when), Apple gets no revenue even if you’re using the service exclusively on Apple TV. The only way to change this would be to cancel your subscription, and then sign up for a new account via Apple TV.
Anything North of $20 a month ($240 a year) is way to much dough to spend for reruns. Unless of course TV is your family babysitter then maybe it’s cheap for you.
Time Warner had a free weekend of HBO. Now they want me to sign up for $10.00 a month for a year. Trying HBO in the Apple TV. Still have yet to watch anything. Don’t see a lot that interests me personally. Have all the gizmos, HTDV Apple TV etc…. I think I’m watching less tv now, than anytime in my life. Competition is good. TV in general, not so much.
I’m a week in on the free trial. I won’t be renewing it- a few episodes of this and that, big whoop. HBO has never attracted me, as pay per view has never attracted me. Now that HD digital is OTA, I really have no need for any cable TV services, if I ever did.
I reach for a barf bag every time I see that figure. ‘Outrageous’ doesn’t cover it. Now, let’s hope this lower % charge on TV translates into a proportionally lower costs to the customer. Wouldn’t that be incredibly sane and fair?!
But NO BUNDLES. Not gonna deal with that Apple.
