                  Ulysses S. Grant, is featured on the obverse, while the U.S.
                  Capitol is featured on the reverse.

                  
All current-issue $50 bills
                  are Federal Reserve Notes.

                  
A fifty-dollar bill is sometimes
                  called a Grant, based on the use of Ulysses S. Grant's portrait
                  on the bill.

                  
Ulysses S. Grant (born Hiram
                  Ulysses Grant; April 27, 1822 ­ July 23, 1885) was the 18th
                  President of the United States (1869 - 77).

                  
As Commanding General of
                  the United States Army (1864­69), Grant worked closely with
                  President Abraham Lincoln to lead the Union Army to victory

                  
over the Confederacy in the
                  American Civil War. He implemented Congressional Reconstruction,
                  often at odds with Lincoln's successor, Andrew Johnson.

                  
Twice elected president,
                  Grant led the Republicans in their effort to remove the vestiges
                  of Confederate nationalism and slavery,

                  
protect African-American
                  citizenship, and support economic prosperity nationwide.

                  
His presidency has often
                  come under criticism for protecting corrupt associates and in
                  his second term leading the nation into a severe economic depression.
