When US Grant became elected, his first step was to *destroy* the KKK, literally run them into the ground. He then set up the Civil Service, he successfully managed to have Great Britain pay war reparations for helping build Confederate warships, and passed the 15th Amendment (all citizens right to vote regardless of race, etc.), and most of all was one of the few Presidents who was generally pragmatic when it came to Native American relations despite the Great Sioux War occurring during his Presidency.
