J engaging financial help from European allies

_ opening negotiations for a peaceable Confederate surrender

Answer 1

The options that were instrumental in General Grant's plan for ending the Civil War are:

• using generals who would obey without question
• destroying anything in the South that would help the Confederacy

Grant's strategy focused on total warfare, which included the destruction of supplies and resources that could aid the Confederate war effort, and he emphasized the importance of having generals who would follow his directives decisively.

Engaging financial help from European allies and opening negotiations for a peaceable Confederate surrender were not central to Grant's strategies; he was more focused on military action to ensure a decisive victory.
