Hooker was Joe, not Thomas.

He was appointed to restore morale in the Army of the Potomac after its humiliating defeat at Fredericksburg and the terrible Mud March.

Hooker looked as though he would be successful, but lost his nerve at his first battle as army commander (Chancellorsville).

Being well-connected in Washington, he was not fired immediately, but a few weeks later, he was replaced by George Meade, just before the Battle of Gettysburg.
