He was respected by Lincoln - which was the main thing.

He was also the victim of much feuding - with his boss, General Halleck, and also with his subordinate, John McClernand. These two were always dredging up his earlier reputation for drunkenness on duty in the old army, for which he was supposedly discharged.
