General Tasker H. Bliss who was advanced from Lieutenant Colonel to Brigadier General and from Major General to General.
The weakness in the Confederate strategy was that only in the last months of the war did it have an overall military commander. Davis named Lee General-in-Chief.
The general is not the commander-in-chief because the general is appointed by the president, but the president is the commander-in-chief because he is supposed to represent the public's opinion for the war.
The Confederate armies had no overall commander until the final months of the war, when Robert E. Lee was appointed General-in-Chief. Up to then, the Confederate President, Jefferson Davis, was trying to double as General-in-Chief, and demonstrating that he had moved up too high for his talents.
