Too bad his insane Tactics killed more soldiers under his command than any other in that war.
Cold Harbor alone makes me question his sanity
Grant was the North’s Hood.
And the direct frontal assault up hill against an enemy waiting for the attack with a 100 gun artillery reserve on the third day at Gettysburg was such a brilliant, bold, innovative tactical employment for George Pickets Division.
PS. Pickets Charge 49% casualties, Cold Harbor 47% casualties.
Grant was a winner. He was rare in that he moved up the ranks based on merit.
