Secretary of the Navy: Adolph Borie
=__Domestic Affairs__= When Ulysses S. Grant came into office he fought to remain above politics. When he announced his first cabinet appointments he dismayed Republican Party leaders who thought the President owed them cabinet positions for their support in the election. However Grant kept his own counsel and balked at using his appointments for political leverage. He wanted to surround himself with people he could trust and to whom he could delegate responsibility.

=__Foreign Affairs__One of Grant’s failed initiatives in foreign policy involved the Caribbean nation of Santo Domingo. For many years, the U.S. Navy had wanted a base in the Caribbean to house its operations. Santo Domingo had a suitable bay, and its government was interested in having the United States annex the country. The President was also interested in the island nation because it presented black Americans with an alternative to staying in the South and facing discrimination and violence. He believed that blacks would be in a better position to negotiate with Southern white about improving working conditions if they could chose to leave the South and immigrate to Santo Domingo.=
