26 de may. de 2024 · Ulysses S. Grant’s only daughter Ellen (“Nellie”) Grant married Algernon C. F. Sartoris, a wealthy Englishman. He was a singer and also a nephew of the controversial British actress Fanny Kemble. The Grants were not happy with the match but staged a lavish wedding on May 21, 1874.
Nellie ließ sich in London scheiden und kehrte mit den vier Kindern in die USA zurück. Grant hatte durch ihre Eheschließung mit einem Engländer die englische Staatsbürgerschaft angenommen und bekam erst durch eine Art Gnadenakt – Lex Nellie – durch den Kongress der Vereinigten Staaten wieder ihre US-amerikanische Staatsbürgerschaft zurück.
Nellie was thirteen when her father entered the White House. Naturally, President and Mrs. Grant wished to give her a rich and well-rounded education, so four years later in 1872 when she was seventeen, they sent her on a grand tour of Europe. Treated like royalty during her tour, Nellie enjoyed parties and balls as well as art and museums.
Grant's elder sons, Frederick and Ulysses Jr., attended West Point and Harvard; the youngest, Jesse, ran about the White House and gave his beleaguered father much-needed cheer. His daughter Ellen, known as Nellie, was married at the White House in 1874, a grand social occasion that captured the fancy of many Americans.
