The union general that would fight. Grant was a fighter but he himself
shaped the surrender terms for Lee and his army. He extended
respect and sympathy to his defeated brethren.
Grant did not often wear the staff officer patch (wreath encircling US)
except for special occasions. Many union officers toned down the
decoration on their uniforms and hats as it drew long range sniper
fire. At the outset of the Civil War, Union officer hats had gold ribbon
on the edge of the brim. Massive bullets fired from Confederate
Whitworth long-range rifles prompted moderation.
