How might the war have been different if Lincoln had appointed grant to lead the union forces?
But he did - Grant was appointed General-in-Chief in March 1864. You probably mean: what if Lee had accepted the offer at the outbreak of the war.
What was the name of the general-in-chief of the north during the civil war?
If the question pertains to the US Army of the Potomac, the last general to lead all the Union armed forces was Ulysses S. Grant. He was appointed by Lincoln and only reported to Lincoln. Whom ever might be leading any part of the Army of the Potomac, they reported to Grant. Grant was the last of a long line of generals to be appointed to lead all the Union forces.
What might have prevented US President Lincoln to not appoint US Grant to lieutenant general?
US President Lincoln was cautious to a critical mass. Knowing all too well that former general McClellan was a political general, Lincoln investigated if Grant had any political aspirations. Grant did not, so that cleared the way for his promotion.

Who was the Secretary of War removed by Johnson in the 1800's?
The Secretary of War was Edwin McMasters Stanton.Stanton has been described as difficult to work with, and there might have been some personality conflicts; Johnson wanted to replace him with General Grant (who declined the position). Lincoln had appointed Stanton and while the Civil War was going on, Stanton had developed a lot of influence and power.
What as president Lincoln's main goal when he took office in 1861?
Abraham Lincoln was a Unionist first and a Republican politician second. From 1860 onwards, he did all he could to convince Southern leaders that he had no intention of undermining slavery in the South. He had no desire to have the nation become a battle ground. His main goal was keep the South in the Union. He might have given his ideas on keeping the Union whole more weight if he had appointed a few common sense Southern Democrats into his cabinet. Senator John Crittenden of Kentucky comes to mind. He was from a border state that had slavery, much like Henry Clay. If Lincoln had done so, perhaps history might have been different.

That's one of those 'Ifs' - and one that many of us have wondered about. He probably wouldn't have resisted the call for an early invasion - in which case the battle of Bull Run would have been little different. And it's hard to guess whether he would have been willing to wait so long before his armies were ready for action. Still, he was a good simplifier of problems, and maybe he would have been able to speed things up. (The real 'If', of course, is what would have happened if Lee had accepted the job of General-in-Chief of he Union when it was offered.)

Who led the Greek city states in the battle?
The generals appointed under their political system - this might be a king, a tyrant or an elected or appointed general.
Why did forward-looking southerners believe the south had lost the civil war?
Presumably because Grant had ended the system of prisoner-exchange, so the Confederates were doomed to run out of manpower. Still, if Lincoln had lost the electon, the South might have had its independence.
