Who resigned form commanding Union forces due to his loyalty to the South?

You probably mean Robert E. Lee. He was a regular US officer, whom Lincoln wanted to appoint as an army commander and likely future General-in-Chief. Lee said he would have to wait to see whether his home-state of Virginia voted Confederate - which he hoped it wouldn't, as he disapproved of secession. However, the vote went that way, and Lee resigned to join the Confederates.
