Did Lincoln reward Grant for his victories at Vicksburg and Gettysburg by promoting him to general?
No, Lincoln did not promote Ulysses S. Grant to general immediately after the victories at Vicksburg and Gettysburg. Grant was already a major general at that time; he received the rank of lieutenant general in March 1864, well after these battles, as a recognition of his overall command capabilities and success in the Civil War. Lincoln's decision to promote Grant was influenced by his effective leadership and the need for a commander who could unify the Union forces.
How did the Union General in Chief Henry W Halleck frustrate General US Grant in the Vicksburg campaign?
US Grant had drawn the assignment to capture the Confederate stronghold of Vicksburg. General in Chief Henry Wager Halleck had emphasized that the mission was of vital importance. Despite that, he sent a minimal amount of the reinforcements Grant believed he needed. Halleck finally understood Gtant's pressing need and sent him the following reinforcements:1. In January Halleck sent one brigade from the department of Ohio; and2. In March he sent eleven regiments from the department of Missouri.For Grant, this was not enough reinforcements. He complained to Halleck that he feared Confederate General Johnston was forming a large force to rescue the garrison at Vicksburg. Halleck, realizing the danger to Grant sent more troops and thus helped Grant to formulate plans to take Vicksburg ( again ) and to cut off any forces from Johnston to aid Vicksburg.
