General Ulysses S. Grant's concept of "total war" referred to a military strategy that aimed to not only defeat the enemy's armed forces but also to destroy its economic resources and civilian morale. This approach involved targeting infrastructure, supply lines, and civilian property to diminish the enemy's capacity to continue fighting. Grant believed that by applying relentless pressure on all aspects of the enemy's society, it would hasten the end of the conflict and minimize prolonged suffering. Total war thus emphasized the need for a comprehensive effort to break the will and capability of the opponent.

What military historian coined the term of exhaustion that was used by US General US Grant in the US Civil War?
When Union General US Grant was amplifying his offensives against the South, the term of "exhaustion" was not in use. What Grant did, however, was such a strategy. In its basic form, exhaustion carries with it the following:* Exhaustion does not mean attrition, which is a form of annihilation;* Exhaustion centers around depriving the enemy of supplies to keep it on the fields of battle. US Grant did this successfully against Robert E. Lee, with the understanding that Grant had virtually no limits in manpower;* Another more specific definition centers around logistics. This in its totally includes the disruption of the enemy's ability to deploy troops, lose communications, cut off means of transport such as railways and obstruct the enemy's ability to recruit soldiers; and* The ideal purpose of this is to avoid major battles of attempted annihilation of opposing armies and thus reduce casualties. As practiced by Union general Grant and Sherman with the support of US President Lincoln, Grant's tactics were faulty in his approach to simply cutting supply lines. By using at any cost of Union lives, he attained exhaustion and the rank and file of Union troops suffered severely.
