Hi, Here is another acrostic poem. This time it is about Julia Grant, the wife of the 18th President Ulysses S. Grant.
Julia Grant was born at White House Plantation in St. Louis, Missouri
U. S. Grant proposed to her several times times before she said yes
Lonely without Ulysses Grant
In 1869, she entered the White House to begin, “the happiest period of her life”
Attended 1897 dedication of Grant’s tomb in New York City
Grant’s had 3 sons and a daughter
Received the position of 1st Lady
A family marriage held at the White House
Next to her husband’s grave
The 1st First Lady to write a memoir

Here is a another Civil War acrostic poem. This time I chose Harriet Tubman. She was a runaway slave who helped other slaves go to freedom and white people called abolitionists helped them get to freedom.
Having faith in herself
Arriving in free land with runaway slaves
Respecting where people would hide her and others
Runaway slave helping others
Inspiring to other slaves
Enough energy to get slaves to the north
Tired but kept on working to get the slaves to freedom
Tried to not get caught with the other slaves
Underground railroad conductor
Born Araminta Ross
Married to John Tubman
Abolitionist
Nicknamed Moses
