How did General Grant's operations against General Lee differ from previous Union generals?
When Union generals McClellan, Burnside, Hooker, and Meade dealt with General Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia, they experienced a grand total of 83,000 casualties in the eastern theater over the course of nearly two years. During this period, Lee consistently operated with the tactical and strategic initiative. In comparison, General Grant reversed this fundamental condition in six weeks however it was costly. Grant accumulated 64,000 casualties. This is a remarkable difference. Grant however, unlike previous generals did not give up the strategical initiative, despite some serious set backs.
With that said, there is another factor to consider in defense of the previous Union generals.
Grant faced a clearly weakened Confederate army in 1864-65, in sharp contrast to earlier in the war when Lee had more soldiers and resources.
The idea that Grant was a brilliant general after his promotion to general in chief is a case the facts do not support.
