Ulysses S Grant, the Union general during the American Civil War, developed a strategy known as total war. This strategy aimed to cripple the South's ability to fight by targeting not only military forces but also the South's infrastructure, economy, and civilian support for the war. Grant believed that a relentless campaign of destruction would break the spirit and will of the Confederate forces, ultimately leading to victory for the Union. By targeting and destroying transportation lines, factories, farms, and other resources, Grant sought to cripple the South's ability to sustain its war effort, ultimately working towards the Union's victory.
