[Steve Van Doorn]

U. S. Grant.

LOL he was no good. He just out produced and out manned the south. Anyone could of won with those odds at that point in the war.

[Leisler]

He kicked the south all the way down the Mississippi with a unique blend of army and navy, amphibious landings, and a long logistics chain. Then he went after Lee. He knew, as did Lee, that if he locked on, which he did, it was but time. Furthermore he was confident enough to have generals like Sherman and Sheridan under him with no jealousy (unlike the south) and full confidence. A new blend of industrial, logistics warfare against a foe that knew him as well as he did himself.
