Winfield Scott - brilliant and prestigious, but much too old and lame.
George McClellan - popular with the rank-and-file, but too liable to cause operational delays, and mistrusted in Washington, partly for this reason, and partly for his politics. (He ran against Lincoln in '64.)
Henry Halleck - a formidable intellectual who believed in occupying territory, rather than destroying armies, and so missed many opportunities to end the war.
U.S. Grant - a simple, direct character who identified the biggest factor, which was the Confederate manpower shortage, and ended the system of prisoner exchange, so he could simply sit and wait for them to run out of troops.
