Is this some kind of a troll or joke? Grant isn’t even in the top 100 US military commanders (counting confederate commanders in this).

I don't have much respect for the union millitary. They stole my grandfather's horse in Nashville riding back from surrendering to Sherman in GA. And forced him to walk back home to KY.

No lost cause here. Just distaste.

Not happy about, but Grant was a superb general. His Vicksburg campaign was a masterpiece. He defeated Confederate armies largely with maneuver until he bottled them up inside Vicksburg, accomplished some massive engineering to cut through the swamps, reduced his own logistical train. His Ft Donelson campaign was also expertly led. He was a master strategist, great leader, logistical expert and the best battlefield commander on the Union side.
