The President of the United States is the de factocommander-in-chief of the armed forces. Although he was not a miltary man, Lincoln educated himself by reading military manuals and history in books from the Library of Congress. He appears to have developed a keen strategic understanding of what was neeeded to defeat the South, and eventually found a field commander in Grant who would use the vast resources of the Union to its advantage.
