Did US Grant believe that the art of war was complicated?

According to many references, General US Grant did not believe that the art of war needed to be complicated. In 1891, a former officer under General Grant shows the reader Grant's basic philosophy regarding war. It is also important to note that Grant was a USMA graduate. According to the above mention Grant staffer, Grant's famous statement about war was ....the art of war is simple enough; find out where your enemy is, get at him as soon as you can, and strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving on."Grant also believed that if men make war in slavish observances of rules, they will fail.

What do many historians believe was General US Grant's overall role in the US Civil War?

Many US Civil War historians believe that General US Grant clearly influenced the outcome of the war, however, that his role did not determine the end result of the war. Until the nearly the very end of the war, Confederate armies were still able to take the field against the Union armies. Southern defeats prior to Grant being named as general in chief, actually influenced the way in which Grant began to conduct the war.
