Dave he was a politician who was made a general because his influence was useful in raising volunteers. He was not grossly incompetent but his skills were limited to there is the enemy so I will attack. He was no coward but he was a political schemer. He worked behind Grant's back to replace him and gain the political laurels for himself.
Until Vicksburg fell Grant's best friend, after Sherman, was Lincoln. Most knew not to doubt him after that.
