The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

Unfortunately, you forgot to include the quote of General Grant. Without it, we do not know what the content is.

However, we can answer the question based on our knowledge of this topic.

General Ulysses Grant believed was the southern people were fighting the war for the wrong reasons. He did not agree with the reasoning of the southerners by forming a Confederation seceding from the Union if they were already part of a nation. He thought that southerners were fighting for ambition to maintain their slavery economy and their profits.

He respected the Confederates, he did not hate them, but Grant had his own convictions and love for the Union.
