The correct answer is b) He did not stop between battles for supplies, but kept fighting continuously.

Explanation:

General Ulysses S. Grant is one of the most famous and celebrated generals in the history of the United States.

He was a key figure in the American Civil War and lead the Union army alongside President Abraham Lincoln.

He soon realized during the War that he had to devise a completely different strategy that can tire the enemy and also surprise them.

In effect, he developed a way to prolong a battle, with continuous supplies and reinforcements coming in. The idea was to continue the battle and make sure the other side cannot fight anymore.
