US Grant: The Forgotten Underachiever!

I forgot to include U.S. Grant in the Underachiever Category.

U.S. Grant (1869-1877): His administration was racked with scandal and a depression hit in his second term which he could not handle. On the positive side, he defended African American rights, destroyed the first KKK, and helped pass the 15th Amendment which guaranteed black voting rights.
