In 1863, the General-in-Chief was still Henry W. Halleck, the unpopular intellectual whose excessive caution had taken the momentum out of U.S.Grant's Tennessee campaign the year before.
In March 1864, his place was taken by Grant, who put into effect the simplified strategy that eventually ended the war. Halleck was demoted to Chief-of-Staff, and it is to his credit that he was willing to serve - effectively too - under his one-time subordinate.
Grant stayed in the job for the rest of the war, although he travelled with the Army of the Potomac (somewhat eclipsing its commander Gordon Meade), and it was Grant who finally took the surrender of Robert E. Lee.
