General Ulysses S. Grant's strategy to win the Civil War can be best summarized as B: to wage total war on the South. Grant's approach involved not only engaging Confederate forces in direct battles but also targeting the economic and infrastructure resources that supported the Confederacy. This strategy was exemplified by his campaigns in places like Vicksburg and his coordinated efforts with General William Tecumseh Sherman, who later adopted a total war strategy during his March to the Sea. While the other options played a role in the broader context of the war, Grant's main strategy focused on total war to break the South's will to fight.
