Question
- after 1863, what did general grant want to do even if it meant thousands of union soldiers were killed?
crush large numbers of confederate troops
wait for confederate troops to attack
disregard his troops needs
experiment with new war technologies
During the U.S. Civil War, after 1863, General Ulysses S. Grant pursued a strategy of attrition. He aimed to destroy Confederate military strength directly, even accepting heavy Union casualties, because the Union had greater manpower and resources to sustain such losses. The other options do not align with his core strategic goal: he did not wait for Confederate attacks, did not intentionally disregard his troops' needs, and his focus was not on testing new technologies.
