What actions by Secretary of War Edwin Stanton gave a degree of discomfort to Generals Grant and Sherman?
ChuckSiata
As the Vicksburg campaign unfolded, the man who helped to have Union General Rosencrans replaced showed up at US Grants field headquarters. Assistant Secretary of War, Dana was a permanent fixture allegedly sent by Stanton with the approval of President Lincoln. This displeased Grant and Sherman and once again the drinking problems associated with US Grant were said to be part of the reason. Whatever the case, both generals believed Dana was a "reporter" for Stanton on Grant's activities.
