During the American Civil War, the Union general who without question was the most successful in the Western Theater was Ulysses S. Grant. Beginning with hard-won victories in western Tennessee and northern Mississippi, Grant's expertise in logistics, reliance on skilled subordinates, and relentless drive to succeed led to decisive victory at Vicksburg (Mississippi) in July of 1863 and thereby broke the South in two.
