Grant’s Strategy for 1864
1. Attack in both primary theaters simultaneously* Use North’s superiority in men & materiel to
overwhelm South * Don’t allow South time to regroup or redeploy
2. Eastern theater - drive on Richmond; force Lee to battle and annihilate his army
3. Western theater - Army sized raids to destroy logistical base and civilian morale
