The military campaigns of generals Grant and Sherman were different in a few respects. For Sherman, he was not under public pressure to win battles. Grant, being top general and fighting close by in Virginia was under huge pressure to bring about results. The public knew he commanded superior numbers in troops and expected victories.Secondly, Sherman had to move slowly. He lacked water way communications and possessed one base. He also had to rebuild and fortify the railroad systems. Grant had no supply line issues and could move quickly if he wanted to. Thirdly, Sherman was correct that Robert E. Lee would find troops to send against Sherman. Grant was secure and there were few troops at hand to help Lee's Virginia defense. As the defender, however, Lee could afford to send some troops to Johnston in the south.
