Said General Grant in his famous final
report:
From the first, | was firm in the con-
viction that no peace could be had that
would tie stable and conducive to the
happiness OF the people, both North and
South, until the military power of the
Rebellion was entirely broken.
II, therefore, determined, first to use
the greater number oftroops practicable
against the armed forces of the enemy;
preventing him from using the same
force at different seasons against first
one and then another of our armies and
he possibility of repose tor rehttiug
and producing necessary supplies for
carrying on resistance. Second, to ham,
mer continuously against the armed force
of the enemy and his resources. until, by
mere attribution, if in no other way,
there should be nothing left for him but
an equal submission with the loyal Sec
ton OF our common country to the Con-
stitution and laws of the land"
Change North" and South" to "the
allied world" and"Germany" and you
have perfect definition here of the Foch
strategy.
