Everyone loves asking: “If Grant was such a great general, how come he lost nearly every battle to Lee and suffered way more casualties?”
Robert E. Lee himself had a very different answer.
“I have carefully searched the military records of both ancient and modern history, and have never found Grant’s superior as a general. I doubt his superior can be found in all history.” — Robert E. Lee
The entire question is built on two flat-out falsehoods.
First: Grant didn’t “lose nearly every battle.” There was essentially ONE continuous campaign — from the Wilderness in May 1864 straight through to Appomattox in April 1865.
Grant seized the initiative in the very first clash and never gave it back. Lee spent the rest of the war reacting to Grant’s moves.
When Lee attacked in the Wilderness hoping the old forests and bogs would save him (like they always had), Grant didn’t retreat north like every previous Union commander. He simply disengaged, slid south, and flanked Lee again.
Lee never dictated the terms of battle after that day.
James Longstreet had tried to warn the Army of Northern Virginia: “We’ve never faced anyone like this man.” They didn’t listen. They learned fast.
Second: The casualty comparison ignores that Lee was almost always the defender. Context matters.
But the deeper truth is bigger than any single clash. Lee still fought war the old way — disconnected battles, win-loss record like a sports season.
Grant fought the next war: coordinated campaigns across multiple theaters, using railroads, telegraph, navy, and engineers to keep relentless pressure until the enemy simply could not continue.
Grant didn’t win by accident. He made contact and maintained it until victory was inevitable.
Lee fought the last war. Grant wrote the blueprint for the next one.
That’s why he was great. That's why he won.

I'll have much more on @AuburnBaseball later today. A few thoughts for now:
1 - Really impressed with Auburn's offensive length in the doubleheader. Felt like they were locked in offensively 1-9, and even having a versatile guy like Bristol Carter at the bottom is such a luxury.
2 - The knock against AU had been the lack of slug, and that looked like a powerful lineup yesterday. A lot of VERY hard hit balls - the top of the lineup, in particularly, crushed the baseball. Something to watch moving forward.
3 - Really impressed with Andreas Alvarez (on and off the field). Showed excellent stuff, SL gave RHH absolute fits, and he carried 94-97 throughout his seven-inning start. A lot of 97s in the win over the Aggies. Was also excellent in post game.
4 - Love the contrasting styles of arms with Alvarez, and then going to Jake Marciano/Jackson Sanders in the second game. Sat behind home plate for a bit, and it's very difficult to figure out what Marciano is throwing out of his hand. When you can mix and match multiple pitches, and the release looks the same, really difficult to square (as you could see by a lot of weak A&M hits). Sanders was up to 94 from the left side and showed some serious moxie.
5 - Freshman Ethin Bingaman is really locked in. Some excellent at bats throughout the day, and once again showed big-time power (after hitting multiple homers in a game last weekend). Chase Fralick also showed out - he absolutely destroyed the baseball in both ends of the doubleheader.
6 - Something I always love looking for - clubhouse/bar fight vibe. Auburn has that. Super loose team that has a lot of fun, but also is very intense in-game as well. An extremely likable group of players/coaches.

The teachers rally in Raleigh may have been the most attended single-day rally in North Carolina history. Educators from around the state used the event to call out lawmakers over funding concerns, and to call on one other.

🧑⚖️: al.com/news/2026/04/s…
Immediately after the decision, Alabama Republicans began calling for an effort to redraw maps in a way that would send as many as nine Republicans to Congress.

The redrawn congressional district lines that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will soon sign into law are intended to help Republicans pick up as many as four U.S. House seats in November — a scenario that would cost some Democrats their seats.
