Ulysses S. Grant
Ulysses S. Grant was a general that fought for the Union (the north).
Because he ended the system of prisoner-exchange, so the Confederates were bound to run out of men first.
Ambrose Burnside led the raids that distracted Confederate troops, enabling General Grant to land his troops south of Vicksburg.
US General Grant realized the huge losses the South had at Shiloh. He was sure, in April of 1862, that the South would not be able to continue the war. It made sense, however, the South fought on.
At the battle of Appomattox courthouse. General Lee surrendered his army of thirty thousand troops. Grant had at least 3x as many troops as Lee.
