Ulysses Grant lives until 1915

What if the general (and president) archieved the age of 93 ? How would he be viewed by the public in the wake of the 50th anniversaries during 1910s ?

With WW1 on in Europe, I think the simplistic answer is that he is revered as a great military commander and the scandals during his Presidency are papered over. His autobiography becomes a best seller - again.
 
And just maybe . . . as an older man, he takes the view that war is hardly ever worth it. He counsels us to avoid involvement in the War in Europe.

This tilts it and we don't enter WWI. The war ends in more of a stalemate and a draw. There is no punitive Treaty of Versailles . . .
