July 4th, 1776. A date known by most proud Americans as the beginning of the best country in the world. More specifically, 56 political radicals signed a piece of paper stating that America was its own country. 200 years after that, Americans rallied after Watergate to celebrate its 200 birthday. At that time, Gerald Ford was President. But this was only the 2nd party of the sort. 100 years earlier, however, was America's 100th birthday was at hand. Still recovering from the Civil War, the nation was in need of a big rally. Anyway, this brings me to my daily question: Who was president during 1876 (Bonus what was the name they were born with)?
The presidents name was Ulysses S. Grant, born Hiram Ulysses Grant.
