As the US Civil War unfolded, the US army was small and did not have many generals. In order to command all the Union recruits, new generals had to be appointed. In 1861, Lincoln appointed one hundred and twenty six generals.

Lincoln didn't fight... he was the president. However he appointed generals and drafted men to fight for the Union army
Union generals McClellan, Burnside and Hooker were all graduates of West Point and all of them had been appointed by President Lincoln to lead the Army of the Potomac. Each of them had also been relieved of being commander of that same army. In order there was 1. McClellan 2. Burnside and 3. Hooker.
The confederate army had better generals

Army Generals are NOT elected. They are appointed, with the consent of the Senate, by the President, as Commander-In-Chief of the US Armed Forces. Lincoln had appointed General George Mcclellan as Commander of the Union Army, but replaced him when little success was achieved in fighting the Civil War.
Ulysses Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, and James A. Garfield. William McKinley was also an Ohio-born Republican Union Army veteran who became president, who served in the same regiment with Hayes before Hayes was promoted. McKinley was a much younger man and never became a general though. By the time McKinley became president all the ex-generals were too old or already dead. McKinley was the last Union Army vet to be president.
Abraham Lincoln was the President of the Union Army.
