Explanation: In the US Civil War, there was… quite a range of personalities on display amongst the generals.

General McClellan, at the top, was the kind of obsessive self-promoting opportunist climber who would probably talk about ‘the grind’ all the fucking time and run MLM schemes on Facebook if he were alive today.

General Sherman, in the middle, was known, even amongst people who liked him, for being somewhat… down-to-business and disinclined towards common courtesies, at least during the war.

General Grant, at the bottom, however, was regarded by everyone who met him as altogether too kind and empathetic for the job he was in, despite being excellent at it.
