Once the civillian infrastructure is destroyed the army cannot be
resupplied. This was General Sherman's great discovery. If you want to
defeat the army, defeat the civillians.


That is what they said would happen in WWII but it did not happen. Sherman in
fact did nothing to end the war.


Wrong.

It was Grant willing to throw men to the
slaughter to get a 1:5 exchange ratio


Where was this 1:5 exchange ratio?

with Lee eventually depleting his forces.
Recognizing what kind of sub-human was Grant he surrendered for lack of
replacement troops.


Oh, I see...you really don't know what you're talking about.

But Grant was sending new immigrants to be slaughter. It was
not like he was sending real Americans.


Wrong again. You should really read some history on the Overland
Campaign....it was, overall, a masterful campaign. (Now's your chance
to say "Cold Harbor! Cold Harbor! Cold Harbor!")
