General Grant's plan for ending the Civil War included the following strategies:

  • Using generals who would obey without question: Grant believed in having a unified command and relied on generals who would follow his strategy.

  • Destroying anything in the South that would help the Confederacy: Grant's strategy included "total war," which involved destroying resources that the Confederate army could use.

The other options, such as engaging financial help from European allies and opening negotiations for a peaceable Confederate surrender, were not instrumental to Grant's plans.

So, the correct selections are:

  1. Using generals who would obey without question
  2. Destroying anything in the South that would help the Confederacy
