Maybe they should add a William Jones statue standing behind Grant, carrying his luggage.

Why would you think that? Wasn’t Vicksburg the key to the Mississippi and strategically important? We had dug in so good the defenses were impenetrable.

His troop percentages lost were actually better than his Southern adversaries
Without getting into the specifics of his personally commanded battles, the union armies had roughly the same casualty counts in battle as did the confederate armies. The Union out numbered the confederates 2 to 1. 110,000 battle casualties for the Union, 95,000 for the Confederacy.
On a side note the Union lost 250,000 via other deaths, the Confederacy 165,000. Other Deaths include, among others: disease (by far the most common cause of death), accidents, drowning, heat stroke, suicide, murder, execution.
