Ulysses S. Grant

 was a general in the Union Army during the American Civil War from 1861 to 1865. (COMIC: Backtime; PROSE: Blood and Hope)

Behind the scenes

 * Backtime has its history a bit wrong. In reality, Grant was actually in the west, running the Union forces at the Battle of Vicksburg at the time that Gettysburg was being fought. Furthermore the character within the short bears little resemblance to the historical figure.
