How many commanders in the east did Lincoln go through before he settled with Grant?
The unfortunate McDowall, who was pushed into the Battle of Bull Run before he was ready.
The popular but over-cautious McLellan, who was politically opposed to Lincoln and mistrusted by most of the cabinet.
The loud-mouthed, untalented Pope, sent packing at Second Bull Run.
The decent, plodding Burnside, who had bad luck with the weather.
The energetic and inspiring Hooker, wrong-footed by the last brilliant tactical triumph of Lee and Jackson before the latter's fatal shooting.
The solid and dependable Meade, who gained huge credibility by winning Gettysburg, only days after being appointed Army Commander.
Then Grant - not directly commanding the Army of the Potomac (still under Meade), but travelling with it in his mobile HQ as General-in-Chief.

Why did Lincoln reverse his original ban of afican soldiers?
When the civil war started there were 4 million slaves in the south. As northern troops came through the southern states the slaves would seek them out and follow the troops. They were called "contraband" because under military law anything (or person in the slaves case) the military unit that has the contraband doesn't have to be returned. Slaves were fighting and wanted to fight. Many slaves had backgrounds as military commanders before slavery. The African American units in the war were brave and many died under the union flags.

How many commanders in the East did Abraham Lincoln go through before he settled on Grant?
As General-in-Chief of the Union armies, only two. At the outbreak of war, it was Winfield Scott - a fine soldier in his day, but far too old by then, and he had to retire in November 1861. Lincoln and his Secretary of War then fulfilled that role themselves until July 1862, when they appointed Henry Halleck, who was replaced by Grant in March 1864.
