    Truman: An Exemplar Of Leadership Running Head: TRUMAN Truman: an Exemplar of Leadership NUR 6101 Bev Holland Seattle Pacific University Truman: an Exemplar of Leadership Many Americans think of Harry S.

    ... nd the Confederates fled into Georgia(Ulysses S. Grant 2). All Tennessee was now captured, and the power of the Confederacy was effectively broken.

Strategy, moral, leadership, and economy are just a few factors that contributed to the Unions dominance over the confederate succeeded states.
