Ulysses Grant was appointed Commander-in-Chief of all Union forces in March 1864 by his predecessor Halleck, who agreed to stay on as Chief of Staff.
Grant ordered Sherman to destroy Joe Johnston's Army of Tennessee, which was slowly retreating towards Atlanta, while he himself remained with the Army of the Potomac, in an uneasy partnership with the army's own commander, Gordon Meade.
