There was no overall General-in-Chief until 1865, when that new post was created for Robert E. Lee.
The only other General of comparable seniority was Joseph E. Johnston, who fell foul of his President, Jefferson Davis - an ex-regular officer who thought he himself ought to have been General-in-Chief, and still fantasised about it.
