Grant’s siege of Vicksburg was patterned after Scott in Mexico. Also Grant’s terms of surrender at Appomattox were influenced by Scott.
How do you think Grant's Vicksburg campaign was modeled after Scott? Scott never detached from his line of communications or used river transports, and Grant never outflanked any Confederate armies like Scott did at Cerro Gordo, if I remember correctly.
