Question

Do you think president lincoln would have approved of grant's actions in the west?

Answer 1

Most likely. President Lincoln granted the promotion of Ulysses Grant into Brigadier General. The promotion was backdated into the time when he was still in the west.

Ulysses Grant was the Commanding General of the Union's western campaign against the Confederate. He has worked closely with President Lincoln and was a vital part in winning the Civil War against the Confederate.
