The General-in-Chief of the Union Armies was Ulysses S. Grant, and General-in-Chief of the Confederate armies was Robert E. Lee.
Technically, the commander of the victorious Army of the Potomac was General George Meade, but Grant was travelling in a mobile HQ right beside him, and took Lee's surrender.
