Why did General US Grant's attempt to capture Richmond have a better chance of success than that of General McClellan?
In 1864, General in Chief US Grant's plans for the capture of Richmond had the advantage of an exterior line assault, which normally was a disadvantage. With that said, exterior line weaknesses were potentially overcome by the 30,000 troops that were under the command of Union General Butler. Butler was defeated by General Beauregard with fewer troops. Butler was never a good general and Grant made an error by entrusting him with a crucial part of his plan.
