‘It was the industrial base of the North that gave them victory. Do you deny this?’

If that was the whole case, the war would have ended long before Grant’s promotion. It didn’t, because the leadership and the tactics employed prior to his advancement in rank did not utilize the overwhelming numerical advantages in all areas.

‘If not, then why are you arguing the point?’

I’m not ‘arguing the point’ I’m noting the topic was, as silly as it will read - ‘Grants tactics resembled a steamroller more than a GTO’.

Thats all.

“If that was the whole case, the war would have ended long before Grant’s promotion.”

The South had help in Europe and some industry of its own. It was logistics that gave the North and advantage.

It helped to have generally better military leadership.

“...overwhelming numerical advantages in all areas.”

So, that’s why they had to force conscription of people just off the boat.
