Many were famous, but the Commanding General of the Union Army was US Grant
At the beginning of the US Civil War, President Lincoln appointed generals for political reasons, not based on military experience.
Grant, Sherman, and Meade (among many others).
There were many different Generals in the Civil War, but Lincoln hired all of the generals for the North who was the Union and the South who was the Confederates was mostly general Robert E. Lee. Douglas was the president of the South since the south wanted to break away from the union.
south- Robert E. Lee there have been many generals for the union, but Ulysses S. Grant was the general who Lee surrendered to and is probably the most popular.
The most high profile Union general replacements involved the position of general in chief and generals commanding the Army of the Potomac. The powerful Army of the Potomac faced serious defeats in Virginia causing President Lincoln to find new generals for this army frequently. In the case of generals in chief, four generals held that position in the US Civil War. They were Winfield Scott, George B. McClellan, Henry W. Halleck and lastly US Grant. It is important to remember that these changes in command took place in a war of only four years.
there are soo many but to answer your question James Alexander walker was a confederate general and george archibald mccall was a union general
There were more than six hundred Yankee generals, and about 425 Confederates - too many to try to list here. There is a book, Ezra Warner's "Generals in Gray" which has a short biography of each of the 425 Confederate generals. I think somebody since has done the same for the Union generals.
