It was Grant clearly. He won the war, and understood both the tactical and strategic aspects of the conflict. The fact so many people say Lee, or that Lee was a better tactician, only goes to show how deeply entrenched The Lost Cause is and how much of that shit

Most of the so-called "Lost Cause" was just Southerners giving their side of the story. It's not what modern activists claim, either some self-delusion to cope with loss or a propaganda campaign. Calling someone a "Lost Causer" boils down to accusing all Southerners of lying.
