At the outbreak of war, the General-in-Chief was Wnfield Scott.
He was soon replaced, effectively, by George McLellan, though not with that official title.
In May 1862, Henry Halleck was made General-in-Chief, as a reward for successes on his territory in the Western theatre, though the credit was really due to U.S. Grant.
In March 1864, Grant was promoted General-in-Chief, with Halleck agreeing to continue as his Chief-of-Staff. That arrangement lasted till the end of the war.
