∙ 13y agoYou need to be much more specific; first off, which side? Confederate or Union?
Secondly, which theater or army?
Thirdly, what time period?
In the US Civil War, military command structures tended to be army-based, with a specific army group being responsible for a "theater" of action. Unlike modern organization, however, there was no overall "supreme" commander on either side. Each theater tended to have a single general in charge, but civilian governments controlled the overall war efforts. In addition, given that Civil War generals often lead from the front edge of the battlefield, there were a considerable number of them killed (or grievously wounded). Furthermore (particularly on the Union side), generals were often changed for political or performance reasons - indeed, for most of the Union war, top generals seldom managed to hold a single command for a full year.
Thus, while we can list a whole bunch of different generals here, that won't answer your question well. Please ask again, being more specific as to which area of operations and what time period you are interested in.
As a short list to explain what I mean by "lots of generals", here's some of both the Union and Confederate Corps commanders (leaving out division and other subordinate generals):
Union: Grant, Meade, McClellan, Hooker, Sherman, Sheridan, Scott
Confederate: Lee, Johnson, Jackson, Early, Longstreet, Stuart
