Overall good
Overall it was very informative. The only thing I thought he missed was that Grant and Sherman both set out to destroy southern resources, and part of this process was by constantly attacking southern forces so that they aren't able to regroup and consolidate forces from other regions, like they had before 1864, this ended the stalemate in the land war.
