If Grant's "brilliance" at Vicksburg was confined to not giving up, that would be enough. |

Didn't Jackson's Valley Campaign get the most votes in Round 1? Yet it's not listed here. TMP link |

And it would have got my vote this time. Though I'm not an ACW expert. |

Grant's plan at Vicksburg – including cutting loose from supplies – was not only brilliant but war-winning |

I'd have said the Valley Campaign and the Vicksburg Campaign were the top two. But "brilliant" tipped it to Grant. Jackson fought the Valley Campaign because he was the kind of person and general he was--secretive, hard-hitting, and a firm believer in a rigid chain of command. That time it worked out spectacularly. In the Seven Days, not so well. But Vicksburg was less who Grant was and more how he'd thought it out. For me, that makes it the more brilliant of the two. |
