WILLIAM TECUMSEH SHERMAN, OCTOBER 7, 1867 WALKING INTO ANDREW Johnson’s White House on August 1, 1867, General Ulysses Grant had to have conflicting feelings. Johnson, who would soon offer to appoint him interim secretary of war, was his superior officer. The Constitution made the president the commander-in-chief of all military forces. But Grant’s loyalties did not follow organization charts, even the one established by the Constitution, and definitely not with this president. Despite his mil...d demeanor, Grant was an unusually poor subordinate. For some years, he had paid little attention to the views of his nominal superiors. Through the Civil War and since, Grant had grown used to relying on his own judgment, even to the point of disobeying direct orders. Grant’s approach works only for generals who win, and not always for them, but the quiet man pulled it off with a unique combination of battlefield success and disarming modesty. When reports circulated during the war that Grant and Stanton had argued, Lincoln’s secretary dismissed them, insisting, “Grant quarrels with no one.”
