The second inauguration of Ulysses S. Grant as the 18th President of the United States took place on March 4, 1873. The inauguration marked the commencement of the second four-year term of Ulysses S.

This was one of the coldest inaugurations in US history, and the inaugural ball ended early when the food froze.[1]
