in case youre wondering... Ulysses S. Grant was a famous Union (Northern/Yankee) general that led the American army against the secessionist Southern rebels in America's Civil War:
www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/ug18.html
He is a hero to most anti-secessionist Americans, and still regarded with some due amount of vitriol by the states-right's advocating Southerners who still hold hard feelings about his destruction of many regions of the Southern states in the war.
There is an old, ongoing joke to Americans that says "...who's buried in Grant's tomb?..." that, though the meaning of this joke has long since been forgotten, is part of the collective old-school American lore...

sorry to be a beotch but Grant isn't actually buried there... he is technically entombed. but there is someone buried there which is said to be a boy who fell off the surrounding wall and died.
joey: why, cary grant, of course!
jacob: talk more about the civil war that he was in
