How did the decisions of individual generals undermine or support Lincoln's overall strategy for the union?
Lincoln's overall strategy was simply to beat the Confederates. Most of the important decisions by his Generals were to do with talent-spotting new Generals - Fremont selecting Grant, Grant selecting Sherman and Sheridan. Among the tactical and strategic decisions: Grant crossing the Mississippi downstream of Vicksburg, totally confusing the garrison commander. This ended the war in the West. Grant ending prisoner-exchanges when he became General-in-Chief. This tilted the manpower numbers against the Confederates. Sherman turning East and crossing Georgia and the Carolinas, almost unopposed. This devastated Confederate morale, and helped to shorten the war.
