The military figure I chose to do my project on it is Gen. Ulysses S Grant. I chose him because of how multi-dimensional his life was. The story of his life was almost like a movie. The main reasoning behind my choice was because I wanted to learn as much as I possibly could from him. He was an honest man that took leadership in a time of need for his country.
