他历经艰难才出人头地，他并不代表哪种特别的信念，所体现的只是在边远山区长大的人所具有的永远能吃苦耐劳、坚忍不拔的品质他不敬畏任何人，不顺从任何人，过分讲求自力更生，他不追怀既往，但能用敏锐的目光看未来Ulysses S.Grant,3,ppt课件,Grant,the son of,Grant was the first Union general to initiate coordinated offensives across multiple theaters in the war.Grant personally supervised the 1864 Overland Campaign against General Robert E.Lees Army in Virginia.Grant announced he would fight it out on this line if it takes all summer.Lincoln supported his general and replaced his losses,but Lees army was forced into defending trenches around Richmond and Petersburg.In April 1865 Grants vastly larger army broke through,captured Richmond,and forced Lee to surrender at Appomattox.He has been described by J.F.C.Fuller as the greatest general of his age and one of the greatest strategists of any age.His Vicksburg Campaign in particular is prounded by military specialists around the world.,4,ppt课件,Grant was the first Uni,Grant announced generous terms for his defeated foes,and pursued a policy of peace.He broke with President Andrew Johnson in 1867,and was elected President as a Republican in 1868.He led Radical Reconstruction and built a powerful patronage-based Republican party in the South,with the adroit use of the army.He took a hard line that reduced violence by groups like the Ku Klux Klan.Grant was personally honest,but he not only tolerated financial and political corruption among top aides,he protected them once exposed.He blocked civil service reforms and defeated the reform movement in the Republican party in 1872,driving out many of its founders.The Panic of 1873 pushed the nation into a depression that Grant was helpless to reverse.Presidential experts typically rank Grant in the lowest quartile of U.S.presidents,primarily for his tolerance of corruption.In recent years,however,his reputation as president has improved somewhat among scholars impressed by his support for civil rights for African Americans.,5,ppt课件,Grant announced generous terms,人物介绍：,Robert Edward Lee,6,ppt课件,人物介绍：,Robert Edward Lee(January 19,1807 October 12,1870)was a career United States Army officer,an engineer,and among the most celebrated generals in American history.Lee was the son of Major General Henry Lee III Light Horse Harry(17561818),Governor of Virginia,and his second wife,Anne Hill Carter(17731829).He was also related to Meriwether Lewis(17741809).,A top graduate of West Point,Lee distinguished himself as an exceptional soldier in the U.S.Army for thirty-two years.He is best known for commanding the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia in the American Civil War.,7,ppt课件,Robert Edward Lee(January,Lees greatest victories were the Seven Days Battles,the Second Battle of Bull Run,but his campaign to invade the North ended in failure.Barely escaping defeat at the Battle of Antietam in 1862,Lee was forced to return to the South.In early July 1863,Lee was decisively defeated at the Battle of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania.However,due to ineffectual pursuit by the commander of Union forces,Major General George Meade,Lee escaped again to Virginia.,In the spring of 1864,the new Union commander,Ulysses S.Grant,began a series of campaigns to wear down Lees army.In the Overland Campaign of 1864 and the Siege of Petersburg in 18641865,Lee inflicted heavy casualties on Grants larger army,but was unable to replace his own losses.In early April 1865,in Virginia,he began a strategic retreat.Lees subsequent surrender at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9,1865 represented the loss of only one of the remaining Confederate field armies,but it was a psychological blow from which the South could not recover.By June 1865,all of the remaining Confederate armies had capitulated.,8,ppt课件,Lees greatest victories w,Lees victories against superior forces won him enduring fame as a crafty and daring battlefield tactician,but some of his strategic decisions,such as invading the North in 1862 and 1863,have been criticized by many military historians.,In the final months of the Civil War,as manpower reserves drained away,Lee adopted a plan to arm slaves to fight on behalf of the Confederacy,but this came too late to change the outcome of the war.After Appomattox,Lee discouraged Southern dissenters from starting a guerrilla campaign to continue the war,and encouraged reconciliation between the North and the South。
