Answer 1

General Ulysses S. Grant’s strategy to win the Civil War can best be described as to wage total war on the South. This involved not only engaging enemy forces but also targeting infrastructure and resources necessary for the South's war effort, ultimately aimed at breaking the will of the Confederate states to continue fighting.
