Why were so many Unions generals replaced in the US Civil War?
The most high profile Union general replacements involved the position of general in chief and generals commanding the Army of the Potomac.

It is important to remember that these changes in command took place in a war of only four years.

Did the North have more generals than the South?
Yes. There were over 600 Union generals and about 425 Confederates generals. Lots of the Yankees were promoted at the very end of the war, as a reward for good service. The Union army was a little bit more than twice as big as the Confederate, so you'd expect them to have more generals. In practical terms it did not matter much, because somebody was in command, even if that person had not been promoted to general. The Yankees did seem to operate with lots of officers performing jobs for which a promotion would have been in order - colonels commanding brigades, brigadier generals commanding divisions.There are four different ranks of generals in the Civil War, from lowest to highest, one star brigadier generals, who usually commanded brigades; two star major generals, who usually commanded divisions; three star lieutenant generals, who usually commanded a corps or an army, and the Confederates also had four star "full" generals, who commanded armies. The Union had only one three star general - Grant - and none higher. Until Grant was promoted to Lieutenant General in 1864 the Yankees had no officers of higher rank than two stars. This caused them problems because among two star generals, seniority controlled, so those who were made two-stars earlier outranked officers promoted later to that rank. Some of the early two stars (like Benjamin Butler) were complete failures, but if he was the most senior major general around, he was entitled to command, which could be a disaster. Butler was politically important so Lincoln did not feel he could fire him until after the 1864 election. The Yankees did not want to promote anybody to the three star rank of Lieutenant General because that was the rank George Washington held during the Revolution, and there had been none since in the American service. No one could be the equal of Washington. Finally, to make sure there was absolutely no question that Grant outranked all officers in the Union army he was made "The" Lieutenant General, the only one, early in 1864.The Confederates had no such problem outranking Washington and there were eight four star Confederate generals and over thirty Lieutenant Generals in the Confederate service.
