Was George Meade commander of Union Armies at any point in time?
He was not General-in-Chief - that was Ulysses Grant. Meade had the distinction of defeating Robert E. Lee at Gettysburg, and then commanding the Army of the Potomac for the rest of the war. During that long interval, he was closely shadowed by Grant, who travelled alongside Meade's army in a mobile HQ. At Appomattox, Lee surrendered to Grant - as one General-in-Chief surrendering to another. Some said that he should have surrendered to Meade, as commander of the Army of Northern Virginia surrendering to the commander of the Army of the Potomac.

Was General Grant showing respect to General Lee by wearing a muddy privates uniform to General Lees Surrender?
No, General Grant actually was showing disrespect. Grant was very drunk during Lee's act of surrendering. While Lee was sitting on top of a horse very proud, although he did result in the losing position, he was the better general at that time No, General Grant actually was showing disrespect. Grant was very drunk during Lee's act of surrendering. While Lee was sitting on top of a horse very proud, although he did result in the losing position, he was the better general at that time Grant was not drunk. He was suffering from a migrane, not from a hang over. The story we were taught in school was that Grant wanted to end the war as quickly as possible to prevent further loss of life on both sides, and he placed this priority higher than a dress uniform and a shiny pair of boots. I have never heard of any implied disrespect to Lee before reading this question and the first answer to it.
