Disney's The American Presidents: Ulysses S. Grant

American history is so much more than dates and documents — it's the dynamic story of the real men and women, immigrants and Native Americans, who together built our country. Disneys The American Presidents is a fresh and relevant narrative (developed with a former producer of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report) about the men who led this country through change and the lives they affected, from an early idea of democracy to our first African American President.

Each DVD includes short-form Presidential biographies, era overviews for historical context, and thematic segments such as The Making of the Presidency and We the People. The DVD content is based on National Curriculum Standards and features interviews with political luminaries such as Sam Donaldson, Wesley Clark, Paul Begala, Melissa Harris-Lacewell and many more. Try the interactive whiteboard content on every DVD — its an exciting, competitive game that uses video clips, photographs and quotes to test students understanding of the Presidents, their political positions, and why they matter in the American story.

This volume covers the 12th-25th presidents!

@theDeckisStacked He originally didn't want to President, even his friend General Sherman advised him not to run because he told him Washington, D.C. would mop the floor with him and destroy him, Grant didn't want to be President, but ended up serving two terms. He hated politics, he didn't like newspaper publicity and hated being away from his family and wasn't a public speaker but that was involved with the President career profile.

@Cyrus255 Actually, they did get their facts right. They said that the 15th amendment gave the right to vote to all male CITIZENS, regardless of race or color. Asians may not have had the right to vote, but it's because they weren't considered citizens. The video doesn't say that Asians were given the right to vote, it says that male citizens were. So the facts presented in the video are correct.

I love how they indicate that Grant is a child by shrinking the animation and adding a lollipop.
