General Grant understood how to win a war of attrition against an opponent with inferior forces and no source of resupply.

At Cold Harbor, Grant stole some of Burnside's tactics and he slaughtered thousands of his men in a few moments. However, knowing he had more soldiers coming, he continued his flanking movement against Lee until he reached the outskirts of Richmond.

I made the mistake of saying that General Lee was the greatest American General. However, every war has different types of generals who are required to apply themselves in a different manner. My comments were too broad.
