Answer 1

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

Explanation: Grant coordinated aggressive subordinates who followed his plans and pursued a strategy of total war (e.g., Sherman's campaigns) to destroy Southern resources and force surrender. He did not rely on European financial aid or seek negotiated peace as his primary strategy.
