What President Lincoln failed to properly understand about modern day warfare in his time was the ability of even a badly defeated army to maneuver its way into a retreat that prevented the enemy to destroy the opposing army. Having never been a general, he was consistently badgering McClellan and Meade for not conducting a vigorous follow up and destroying Lee's army. If Lincoln had been a general, he would have experienced at first hand the condition of his troops and what were the odds of a successful pursuit.
What was Robert E. Lee's commanding general?
The Confederates did not have anyone in the job of General-in-Chief until they created that post, in some desperation, in January 1865. By then, the only choice was Lee himself. Before that, Lee had been reporting to his President, Jefferson Davis, an ex-Army man who had hoped for senor command in the war, but had been 'kicked upstairs' to President. For most of the war, he tried to fulfil the role of General-in-Chief, but was badly out of his depth.
