On the Whole, Though, I'd Still Rather Be a Sailor
So I'm feeling a little feisty today ...
Ulysses S. Grant You scored 62 Wisdom, 57 Tactics, 64 Guts, and 47 Ruthlessness! |
Like you, Grant went about the distasteful business of war realistically and grimly. His courage as a commander of forces and his powers of organization and administration made him the outstanding Northern general. Grant, though, had no problem throwing away lives on huge seiges of heavily defended positions. At times, Union casualties under Grant were over double that of the Confederacy. However, Grant was notably wise in supporting good commanders, especially Sheridan , William T. Sherman , and George H. Thomas. Made a full general in 1866, he was the first U.S. citizen to hold that rank. |

UPDATE (16h11): Whoopsie. Should've given a hat tip to Shane at The High Places, who's also put up a current index on the Red Ensign Standard.
