Grant violated the Geneva Convention and killed civilians as well as destroying their livestock, crops, and livestock. Grant won because of the sheer number of soldiers.
If the South had won he and Lincoln could have been charged as war criminals

To be honest, I don't think that America has really produced a Top 10 general ever. Top 20, sure, but not sure if they measure up to some of the greats that rode along Alexander and Genghis as well as a few other generals littered throughout history.

The United States was not a signatory of the Geneva Convention until 1949 and the Geneva Convention of 1864 only dealt with sick and wounded soldiers on the battlefield.

The Geneva Convention didn't exist at the time, and Grant was the first to conceive and implement a total war strategy.

No he didn't. He won battles over three theaters, made innovations regarding waging war year-round and the tempo of operations, and was the first to understand that the war would be fought differently from previous wars, and he sought a new way of combining tactical, strategic and operational elements to produce results on the battlefield.

Let me guess - we’d have it made and you would probably run for President of the Southern States????
