Why did president lincoln want grant commanding the union army after the battle of gettysburg? he wanted to give grant a chance to prove himself. he knew victory required the destruction of the confederate army and its source of supplies. he had heard that grant had recruited more union troops. he thought the south would surrender?

The correct answer is he knew victory required the destruction of the confederate army and its source of supplies.

He knew that Grant was capable of doing anything it takes to win the war and did not fret from doing things that might even be considered unethical or bad. Grant was capable of that and it proved to be true since they did win the war and Grant proved to be successful.

It would be the 3rd option because not everything is owned by the federal government (I think that’s the answer I’m
Not 100% sure though)
