Fully aware the most pressing military matter was for the Army of the Potomac to forcefully campaign, Lieutenant General U. S. Grant arrived from Washington City to do what he believed he had to do - find a new man to lead the that eastern army. The Pennsylvanian, Meade, expected as much and opened their conversation by offering to uncomplainingly step down and serve in a subordinate role if Grant desired one of his own - perhaps a westerner like Sherman. Instead, Meade’s candor impressed Grant and, whatever the Lieutenant General originally thought about the Army of the Potomac’s commander, the two hit it off. They sensed they could work together. Up in Washington City, the 16th President of the United States felt certain that, after three years of trial and bloody error, he finally had found his general. This is the story of his learning curve and role as the nation’s top military official. This is the story of Abraham Lincoln as Commander-in-Chief. #abrahamlincoln #civilwarhistory #presidentialhistory #civilwar Narrated by Fred Kiger Produced by Dan Irving Published by Third Wheel Media We're looking for sponsors for this channel.
