Howe
George McClellan, he was later fired for slow reaction time, hired back by Lincoln, then fired again for not doing anything when he had a chance to crush the Confederacy. And after he was fired I believe it was George Meade.
General George B. McClellan
He fired Casey and someone else when he was promoting the troop surge.
Based on his previous actions, and not just those at Antietam, Lincoln fired Major General George McClellan as general-in-chief of the Union armies and replaced him as commander of the Army of the Potomac with Ambrose Burnside.Lincoln was likely prompted by what he saw as the indecisive, overcautious nature of McClellan, who at Antietam thought that he was outnumbered when it was very much the reverse.
General Beauregard was one of the original five Full Generals of the Confederacy. He fired the first shots of the war, at Fort Sumter. And at the war's first pitched battle at Manassas, he was given special authority on account of his intimate knowledge of the terrain. He was then posted to Western Tennessee, where he missed his opportunity to destroy Grant's army at Shiloh. After this, his health began to fail and he was replaced by General Bragg as the commander of the Army of Mississippi.
Lincoln fired several generals. He fired McClellan twice.
