From
“Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst:
May 18
When Grant was appointed head of
all 860,000 Union troops in 1864, he devised a plan to attack all Confederate
forces simultaneously: the Army of the Potomac would attack Lee in Virginia
without let-up; Sherman would slash eastward through Georgia to the sea; Banks
would attack northward through Mobile joining with Sherman in the Deep South.
Lincoln had finally found his man, someone to execute a strategy he knew could
not fail. Happily he observed, ‘those not skinning can hold a leg.’
‘There is no “I” in “teamwork.”’
