General Winfield Scott was the Commanding General of the US Army from the War's start on 12 April 1861 until his retirement on 1 November 1861 after 20 years as the Commanding General of the US Army and 20 years as its General-in-Chief. He had devised the Anaconda Plan which eventually defeated the Confederacy when his field commander Major General George Brinton McClellan took over the post until 11 March 1862. The post remained vacant and under the direct control of the Commander in Chief Abraham Lincoln and his Secretary of War Edwin Stanton until Major General Henry Wager Halleck assumed command on 23 July 1862.
On 12 March 1864 Ulysses S, Grant was promoted to Lieutenant General and General -in-Chief and Halleck his former Commanding Officer took the position that he was much better suited for as Chief of Staff.
