Assistant Secretary Henry Richard Dana gave US Grant the opposite advice of General Sherman. He believed that Washington DC was still in danger by the Army of Northern Virginia, which described as formidable and unbroken. He also informed Grant that unless Lee's army was defeated, he was sure that Britain and France would recognize the Confederacy. This was in 1864. Dana believed that Grant's leadership in Virginia was needed by politics and the military situation.
