Gallery: Ulysses S. Grant previous 10 of 18 next



This image by Currier & Ives shows the ugly rush of greedy Grant supporters seeking to profit from his election. The artist makes a strong case for civil service reform (a major issue at the time) by cleverly tweaking Grant's famous 1868 campaign slogan from "Let Us Have Peace" to "Let Us Have a Piece" of the "government cake."
