    It is Ulysses S. Grant Memorial. Ulysses S. Grant was a successful Northern general in the Civil War, served as the nation's president and is responsible for the creation of the Justice Department to protect African Americans during Reconstruction.
    Translated by
    Situated in Union Square at the edge of the reflecting pool and backed by the United States Capitol, the bronze and marble General Ulysses S. Grant Memorial honors the Civil War Commander of the Union Armies who was also a two-term President (1869–1877). It marks the eastern terminus of the National Mall and faces the Lincoln Memorial almost two miles to the west, symbolically linking the President and the General who fought to save the Union. The memorial to Ulysses S. Grant was dedicated in 1922.
