How did US Grant make a difference after he took command of all the union armies?
He moved his army and attacked. The previous commander(s) usually made up reasons for not moving nor attacking...always wanting more food, or more ammunition, or more men, or more horses, or more mules, or more wagons, or more cannons, or more tents, or more medical supplies. No excuses, just do it; Grant did.
US Grant is a prime example of winning a battle no matter how many Union soldiers had to die. It came to a point in the war, where Grant was labeled a "butcher" by Lincoln's wife. Mary Todd Lincoln.
Grant used frontal assaults when he knew it was almost hopeless to do so. With that said, he turned to sieges to starve out Petersburg and Richmond.
