Not especially, but he never ran from a fight and he had total support from Lincoln down to the lowest private. He knew that his forces outnumbered the South's by more than 3 to 1 so he used a war of attrition to wear down the Confederates.

Yes.

He was appointed General-in-Chief of all the Union armies in March 1864, displacing his old boss, Henry Halleck, who was demoted to Chief-of-Staff. Despite the long feud between the two Generals, Halleck recognised Grant's abilities and supported him well in the last year of hostilities.
