Ulysses S. Grant appears to us at his memorial, “Grant’s Tomb”. Taking stock of his life, Grant takes us through the events of his life that led an unremarkable Ohio boy on the path to lead the Union Army to victory in the Civil War and later to the Presidency. Through Grant’s eyes and his passion for both his wife, Julia, and his country we experience his struggles with the military, with politics and with alcohol. Holding a mirror up to his conflicts we see the same conflicts we face today. Grant is a love letter to America.
