Explanation:

Ulysses S Grant was made commander of the Union army in 1864 after decisive but costly battles he won in Shiloh, Vicksburg and Chattanooga.

President Abraham Lincoln asked Congress to bring back the rank of Lieutenant General to confer on Grant. At first, the president was hesitant to make Grant commander of the Union forces as he saw him as a direct threat to him because of his popularity but Grant repaid the faith and was successful with the union army.
