There were six other generals who had the same advantages as Grant over Lee and they couldn’t get it done. And Lee had his own advantages which he, and Jefferson Davis, refused to utilyze.

There were six other generals who had the same advantages as Grant over Lee and they couldn’t get it done.

Winning with a huge advantage is less impressive than winning with even odds, or worse odds.
