Generals commanding the Army of the Potomac (Union) were, in sequence:
Irvin McDowell - pushed into action before his army was ready for operations
George McLellan - bad mixture of rash promises and excessive caution
Ambrose Burnside - a reluctant appointee, modest, agreeable, genuinely unlucky
Joseph Hooker - performed better than expected, but wrong-footed by Lee
George Meade - solid but unexciting, mostly to blame for the Crater disaster
Generals commanding the Army of Northern Virginia (Confederate):
Joseph E. Johnston - shrewd and sophisticated, victim of feuds at the top
Robert E. Lee - unstoppable, until the death of his team-mate Stonewall Jackson
