This is the sign of a leader. You have those that question your strategy in your closest circle. Not because you fear to be contradicted, because you desire to know the full picture.

The US Constitution is the Hotel California.

Yup. After General Hooker got fired, Meade took command and beat Lee at Gettysburg just a couple days after he got the job. Meade went on to command the Army of the Potomac until it was disbanded on June 28, 1865. Grant headquartered with Meade and his army and gave Meade operational directions while Meade retained his command. Grant likely knew Old Snapping Turtle and his boys were the best he had after he sent Sherman into the South to wreak havoc.

Grant suffered a horrible defeat at Wilderness. The loss of life from battle was compounded by fire which spread, killing men already on the ground from battle wounds. Grant was understandably upset, stunned and depressed - his men heard him actually crying in his tent that night. But - per Ken Burns' great series " The Civil War", Grant wasn't crying the next day when he ordered his men to move ahead. Something in Grant's revived bearing and resolve increased/inspired courage and resolve in his men. We visited Wilderness battlefield 15 years ago; though it is not as tourist-friendly as some battlefields, it was still quite a sight to see.

@@user-kb6xn6ig7k Grant, not Meade, earned the nickname bequeathed to him by northern newspapers following the battle at Spotsylvania. Even Southern generals under Lee were heard to say that this was not war, but murder, as wave after blue wave was mercilessly cut down by well designed interlocking fields of fire by infantry and artillery. Yet it wouldn't matter. Not for Lee and the cause of Southern independence. Lee was ill, and had tried to resign following Chancellorsville, but his resignation was refused by president Davis. This was a mistake by Davis, in retrospect. Davis was still trying to bring attempts to bring Britain or France to the southern side to fruition. The South had allies in England and after the war's end Napoleon III would express regret that he had not done so in order to deflect the US's influence in foreign affairs. General Lee would opine that a government that loses its basic grounding in why it is empowered by its citizens is bound to act aggressively abroad and despotically at home. He was right. And now we are here. Yep, the Yankees won that war....

Yet, the Union Army, the Army of the Potomac, was stalemated by a Southern Army, the Army of Northern Virginia, that was outnumbered, outgunned and malnourished by comparison. But it would not be until into 1864 that Lee's men would start referring to themselves as "Lee's Scarecrows" because of their gaunt and emaciated appearance, no longer filling out their clothing. And large parts of that army did not have shoes either.

And when the American Civil War broke out, Lee before the start of the War was torn between his Home State of Virginia and his Oath he took to protect the Union as an Officer in the US Army. And when Lee Joined the South, as punishment the Politicians in DC stole his land and turned into what we know it today as Arlington National Cemetery.

Makes me think of Pittsburgh Landing (Shiloh) where Johnston, when confronted by his officers about his plan to attack against the larger Army of The Tennessee (commanded by Grant), he stated something along the lines of, "Between the river and creeks they won't be able to fight with any more men than we can."

Grant got put above him almost immediately, and he was unfairly lambasted after Gettysburg for not pursuing and finishing Lee after the fight. Unfairly because the Army of the Potomac may have won, but it was in no state to follow Lee even if they wanted to - Half of the Army had been forced marched to Gettysburg in the first place and were spent energy wise; far too many high ranking officers had died; and while Lee was prepping to cross some rivers he fortified heavily, meaning any assault would have just been Gettysburg in reverse.

Grant was more a practical General much like his friend WT Sherman. In Grant there could have never been a more apt general to accept Lee's surrender, and who knew what he needed to do to bring about the end of the war. By the time of 1864 there were whole American towns that looked like the WWI Ardennes only 50 years later. Whole forests cleared or burned to stumps, chimneys and foundations are all that was left of some towns. Lincolns second inaugural address said it best to capture the overall mood of the nation and indeed his intention at unification and magnanimity at the wars conclusion. This whole notion of subjugation of a defeated south was only espoused by people in the federal government who were themseves labeled radicals, and advocating what was termed at the time as "bloody shirt" politics. I encourge people to start reading works from Bruce Catton, Carl Sandburg, and Shelby Foote as well as first hand recorded accounts in the Offical Records of the Rebellion. (Available in the Library of Congress) If you are not so fortunate like myself ro own the entire collection personally. .
