Suffering and sacrifice and death
on the field were at an end, and life
was to go on uninterrupted by the
business of war. Grant had con-
summated the wish that lay in Pres

great work, he had completed the
thing he had set out to do, and his
habit Of life had made the Union an
unquestioned thing from that day to
this.
Grant might make mistakes, Il.
could learn from his opponents but
he couldn't be detected from a pur-
pose, he would not recognize defeat
or move backward while the uncon-
quered enemy was before him. Sim
