That was a very wise statement, and attitude, but it doesn’t necessarily mean he disdained Lee or even thought himself better.

I never meant to suggest that Grant disdained Lee. I know of no evidence indicating that he did. But I also have never seen anything to suggest that Grant was in awe of Lee or felt that he was an inferior commander to Lee.

Oh I didn’t mean to say that about Grant. Just in general - anyone that makes such a statement doesn’t have to think themselves better or equal, much less disdain the other party.
