The correct answer is he knew victory required the destruction of the confederate army and its source of supplies.

He knew that Grant was capable of doing anything it takes to win the war and did not fret from doing things that might even be considered unethical or bad. Grant was capable of that and it proved to be true since they did win the war and Grant proved to be successful.
