US Grant is underrated. He was the target of systematic slander BECAUSE, he outwitted, out-gritted, and decimated the army of the Patrician Hero of the racist slave nation. Lee's hagiography required the personal destruction of the General who was greater than he.

"it had not been demonstrated that an army could operate in an enemy’s territory depending upon the country for supplies." Was it? How did Napoleon's army survive when he overextended his supply lines?

Napoleon depended on looting Moscow for his army to survive. When he arrived and found it burned his adventures in Russia were finished as was his army.
