Best Answer

Command of all US armies changed hands a few times during the war. From McClellan to Helleck to McClellan to Meade to Grant. For the Union's premier army, the Army of the Potomac, it had multiple commanders. Once again US President Lincoln seemed to do a poor job in selection commanding generals.
