Many US Civil War historians believe that General US Grant clearly influenced the outcome of the war, however, that his role did not determine the end result of the war. Until the nearly the very end of the war, Confederate armies were still able to take the field against the Union armies. Southern defeats prior to Grant being named as general in chief, actually influenced the way in which Grant began to conduct the war. This in no way reduces Grants standing as a successful general, it simply clarifies his role and its influence.
