Abraham Lincoln: Lincoln proved to be a great asset to the Union. He never wavered from his goal of preserving the Union.
Ulysses S. Grant: After much trial and error, Lincoln finally found his man in Union General Ulysses S. Grant. Grant’s views on war were simple. Find your enemy, get your enemy, strike hard and as often as you can, and move on. Believed in total warfare –take the war to your enemy from all sides and break their will to fight and ability to support their troops.
Irvin McDowell: At the beginning of the war he appointed General Irvin McDowell to lead the Union forces.He lost his command, however, at the first major battle of the war Bull Run.

Lincoln relieved McDowell from his command and chose General George B. McClellan as the new commander of the Union army.
George B. McClellan: He was superior as a troop trainer and supply technician, but he was not an aggressive fighter. At the Battle of Antietam, McClellan had General Robert E. Lee on the run but did not follow Lee and completely defeat the Confederate army. Lincoln was furious with McClellan and fired him. Later, McClellan ran against Lincoln in the election of 1864 and lost.
