You should perhaps read a little deeper.
NBF also was a “military man”, with military objectives.

Yeah, really? Che Guevera and Osama bin Laden see themselves as military men, too. Any of these crazed animals they try in U.S. courts see themselves as military men, too.
NBF once fought a war. But after his war was over, and everyone, including himself, said the war was over and it was time to be good American citizens, NBF helped found an organization dedicated to slaughtering innocent people based on the color of their skin.
Your last point is well taken.
A successful leader, not vanquished can soon find themselves surrounded by unrequited bile. My understanding is that he recognized that, and withdrew. I wasn’t there, and that could be wrong.
Quanah Parker of the Comanches is a similar figure.
I defer to the historians.
