That was years after the war, when Grant retired from his position as General-in-Chief.
Yes. He made a successful partnership with Grant.
The area commander was William T. Sherman. The commander of the whole army was Ulysses S. Grant.
Ulysses Grant, William Sherman, George Thomas, Phil Sheridan to name a few
No, it was the newly-promoted George Gordon Meade. At that time, Sherman was in the West, helping Grant to besiege Vicksburg.
William T. Sherman
William Sherman
Yes. He distinguished himself in the war's first battle (Manassas/Bull Run), then teamed-up with Grant in Western Tennessee. The two of them became close friends and colleagues, and Grant made Sherman an army commander in the last year of the war.
Principally U.S. Grant. Sherman owed his promotion largely to his personal friendship with Grant. Later he reflected "I looked after him when he was drunk, and he looked after me when I was mad."
Ulysses S. Grant!. ANSWER William Tecumseh Sherman.
William Tecumseh Sherman
Sherman proved to be a loyal subordinate to U.S. Grant in the early campaigns in Tennessee, and the two of them made good friends. ("He stood by me when I was mad. And I stood by him when he was drunk!") After they served together successfuly in the Vicksburg campaign and later at Chattanooga, Grant moved up to General-in-Chief and appointed Sherman as an army commander. Shrman carried enough credibility with Grant that he was allowed to reverse Grant's strategy, and ignore the Army of Tennessee as he turned East to embark on his campaign of destruction across Georgia and South Carolina.
