During the final week of February 1865, General James Longstreet became involved in negotiations that sought terms for a settlement in the Civil War. Major General EOC Ord, commander of the Army of the James sent a note through the lines that requested a meeting between himself and Longstreet about prisoners of war and a possible end of the armed hostilities between the North and the South. Ord's position was that since the politicians had failed to reach any means to end hostilities, the generals from each side should meet and agree to some kind of terms. By March 4, 1865, it became clear that negotiations to end the war were not possible.
James Longstreet is Robert E Lee's most trusted advisor. "General James Longstreet had become Lee's most trusted commander after Jackson's death. Longstreet warned Lee that the Union Positions were too strong to attack." The last part might not help you any, but it helped answer my question.
The rank of lieutenant general was established by the Confederate Congress in 1862. Out of respect for George Washington, who held this high rank, the Union waited until February of 1864 to do this. Basically this rank was requested by US President Lincoln for his new general in chief, US Grant.
General Ulysses S. Grant was successful in his campaigns in the western part of the Union's war efforts in Tennessee. Upon Lincoln's appointment of Grant to Lieutenant General, his fame became well known. As the military head of all Union forces, he was responsible for the defeat of the Confederacy. His successes were well known and his war victories helped Grant to be elected US President.

Lieutenant General Grant had a "mountain" of military objectives when he was promoted to his high rank, which he gladly looked forward to. Of course the military objectives for the North centered around Richmond, Virginia and the Army of Northern Virginia. It seems that President Lincoln, the press and the general public saw a political duty as well. He was expected to fight against and defeat General Robert E. Lee. This had become a political situation in that Lee represented the "face" of the Confederacy. What was now the top general for the Union had to engage and defeat the top general of the Confederacy.
Yes.
