Gen. Grant Plots Future Strategy
'General Ulysses S. Grant, the leader of the Northern Army, spent the afternoon meeting with his top military consultants planning
his future strategy in the war. After the meeting was adjourned, the General dispatched a messenger to Washington with a personal
message for President Lincoln. Lincoln has expressed his full confidence in the military capabilities of the general on many
occasions. Grant, who attended West Point, first won fame in Mexico as a soldier. After the Mexican campaign, Grant retired to his
farm. He was quick to join the Federal Army when the Civil War broke out. In one of the early major battles in the war, General Grant
led the Union to victory over the Confederates at Fort Donelson.'
