Download or read book The Papers of Ulysses S. Grant: December 9, 1862-March 31, 1863 written by Ulysses Simpson Grant. This book was released on 1967. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 7 documents Grant's winter of discontent. In late December, his Mississippi Central campaign, an overland drive toward Vicksburg, was fatally disrupted by Confederate cavalry raids. Forced to withdraw northward, Grant could not apply pressure on the enemy when Major General William T. Sherman attacked Vicksburg directly. Sherman suffered a disastrous repulse at Chickasaw Bayou, and Grant pulled back to Memphis and, during the winter, continued to cope with the myriad administrative problems of his department. Balancing the North's need for cotton against the need to prevent cash from flowing to the enemy created constant tension. Infuriated by unscrupulous cotton speculators, Grant issued orders on December 17 expelling the Jews from his department. This controversial and puzzling document receives extensive analysis in this volume.

Book Synopsis The Papers of Ulysses S. Grant: July 7-December 31, 1863 by : Ulysses Simpson Grant
Download or read book The Papers of Ulysses S. Grant: July 7-December 31, 1863 written by Ulysses Simpson Grant. This book was released on 1967. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Vicksburg fell, Washington promoted Grant to major general in the U.S. Army, which meant that Grant, already a major general of volunteers, would retain his rank after the war. Only three other officers on active duty held this rank, none of them commanding in the field. At Vicksburg Grant supervised the parole of 30,000prisoners. His victory there had opened trade on the Mississippi; for a short time his duty also consisted of making sure the Union, not the Confederacy, benefited from this newly opened route. At the end of August Grant went to New Orleans to confer about an attack on Mobile, Alabama. After being sidelined following a fall from his horse--which revived rumors of his drinking--Grant entered Chattanooga to open a supply line to besieged Chickamauga, Georgia. He then coordinated an assault that delivered Chickamauga into Union hands, and before the end of the year he had driven the Confederates from Tennessee. Congress voted him a gold medal, discussed a bill to revive the rank of lieutenant general, and both parties considered him as a potential candidate for Congress. Grant carefully composed his letters to discourage his political supporters. As usual, Grant meant what he said: he was a soldier who wanted the opportunity to fulfill his responsibility.
