George McClellan succeeded Winfield Scott late in 1861, but by 1862 was deemed too cautious and was replaced by Henry Halleck. But Halleck's successes were mostly due to his field commanders. One of them, Ulysses S. Grant, was given overall command in 1864, as his armies were finally gaining territory in Virginia. Between Grant and his capable generals Sherman and Sheridan, the Union Army was able to overpower the under-supplied Confederate forces.
