Remarkably successful, considering that he was half-mad, and had earlier been regarded as an incompetent officer who had moved up through social influence.
Under the test of combat, his judgments were usually right.
He had been living in New Orleans, and when the war started, he warned his Southern friends that they would enjoy early success but were bound to lose in the end. This turned out correct, and showed that he was one of very few men who believed it would be a long war.
In the Vicksburg campaign, he thought Grant should have crossed the river at Memphis, even though it would mean retreating. (Grant thought the public could not stand any more reports of retreat.)
After the capture of Atlanta, he proposed a complete reversal of Grant's strategy, and turned East across Georgia, totally ignoring the Army of Tennessee, which he had been ordered to destroy. The six-week raid on this rich farmland was devastating to Southern morale, as well as critical for the victualling of the Confederate armies.
