Answer:
<u>Desertion was common on both sides.</u> It became <u>more frequent</u> later in the war (when more of the soldiers were draftees rather than volunteers, and when the brutal realities of Civil War combat had become more clear), and was <u>more common among Confederate soldiers</u>, especially as they received desperate letters from wives and families urging them to return home as Union armies penetrated further south.
While it is impossible to know with certainty how many soldiers deserted over the course of the conflict, Northern generals reckoned during the war that at least one soldier in five was absent from his regiment; at war’s end, the Union Provost Marshal General estimated that nearly a quarter of a million men had been absent from their units sometime during the war. Estimates for Confederate armies range even higher—perhaps as many as one soldier in three deserted during the course of the war. The Army of Northern Virginia alone lost eight percent of its total strength in a single month during the savage campaign of the summer of 1864.
Officially, desertion constituted a capital offense and was punishable by death.

The term Grantism is political corruption and greed in government. The term was coined in a speech by Massachusetts Senator Charles Sumner on May 31, 1872, a Presidential election year to encompass the shady dealings that were rampant during the Grant administration. And yes, I did copy this from google. I hope I helped ;).
It was President Ulysses S. Grant.
