U.S. Grant
March 1864
Ulysses Grant was appointed Commander-in-Chief of all Union forces in March 1864 by his predecessor Halleck, who agreed to stay on as Chief of Staff. Grant ordered Sherman to destroy Joe Johnston's Army of Tennessee, which was slowly retreating towards Atlanta, while he himself remained with the Army of the Potomac, in an uneasy partnership with the army's own commander, Gordon Meade.

Ulysses S. Grant
He was never Commander-in-Chief of the Union Army, so it's a bit of a trick question. His title from his appointment in early 1864 was General-in-Chief, which he held until he became President of the United States (and with it, Commander-in-Chief of the US Armed Forces) in 1869. With that in mind, the Commander-in-Chief of the Union Army in the Civil war was Abraham Lincoln up until his assassination, when Andew Johnson became Commander-in-Chief.
