Why Confederate Generals Feared Ulysses S. Grant More Than Any Union General

In the spring of 1864, Confederate officers wrote letters home with a warning they had never written before. Grant is coming. Not McClellan. Not Hooker. Not Burnside. Grant. In this video we explore exactly why Ulysses S. Grant terrified the Confederate high command more than any Union general who came before him. From his shocking victory at Fort Donelson where he demanded unconditional surrender, to his impossible campaign at Vicksburg where he cut off his own supply lines and still won, to the relentless Overland Campaign of 1864 where he simply refused to stop no matter the casualties. This is the story of a man who failed at everything in civilian life and became the general who won the Civil War. Not through genius. Not through luck. But through something the Confederacy had no answer for.
