Who do you believe was the greatest General in US history.?
My vote would be Winfield Scott.
His brilliant landing at Vera Cruz and overland March on Mexico City is reminiscent of the the US army’s march from Kuwait to Baghdad in gulf war 2.
He implemented the anaconda plan at the outset of the Civil War that resulted in the eventual Union victory.
He had the strategic foresight to know that the Civil War was going to last far longer than his contemporaries.
