During the American Civil War, numerous Union generals were, to President Lincoln's great dissatisfaction, indecisive. Just one of these was General George Meade, Union commander at the Battle of Gettysburg: while he successfully engineered the defense of Gettysburg (and had successes elsewhere during the war), he failed to act decisively after the Confederates' final attack was repulsed. He had the opportunity to inflict a crushing defeat on General Robert E. Lee's army; instead, he let Lee's forces escape to Virginia nearly unscathed.
