Ulysses Grant "Cheap Cigars" Humorous Graphic Tee

Hiram Ulysses Grant, was born on April 27, 1822. It was only later when the congressman who nominated him for West Point erroneously recorded him as Ulysses S. Grant that he was able to shed the embarrassment of his true initials: H.U.G.  Because of Grant's Military career, the family was frequently separated, and Grant suffered from depression.  It is rumored that he drank so heavily that his commanding officer forced him out of the army. He then unsuccessfully attempted to earn a living in a variety of occupations.

Grant had difficulty getting into the Civil War. Finally, the Illinois governor giving him command of an undisciplined regiment, to reform them. He did and from that point on, his track was upward. Lincoln named him commander of all Union armies in 1864.

His 1885 funeral was and remains the largest such event in American history.  Ulysses Grant was immensely popular during his lifetime, but, for a time, was considered a butcher general and a corrupt president. He was regularly ranked at the bottom of all American presidents. He is today considered one of the most significant people in American history.

While there is no written record tying Grant directly to this quote, there is no irrefutable proof he did not say it, either, so off to the press it goes.  Celebrate the humor of our 18th President and complex man with this great tee!
