At the beginning of the US Civil War, President Lincoln appointed generals for political reasons, not based on military experience.
As the US Civil War unfolded, the US army was small and did not have many generals. In order to command all the Union recruits, new generals had to be appointed. In 1861, Lincoln appointed one hundred and twenty six generals.
The Battle of Chantilly was the battle that took the lives of two Union generals. Generals Issac Stephens and Philip Kearny were killed on September 1, 1862.
For the Union the generals were Ulysses S. Grant and Don Carlos Buell. For the Confederacy the generals were Albert Sydney Johnston and P.G.T Beauregard.

There were more than six hundred Yankee generals, and about 425 Confederates - too many to try to list here. There is a book, Ezra Warner's "Generals in Gray" which has a short biography of each of the 425 Confederate generals. I think somebody since has done the same for the Union generals.
