Lee’s (1807-1870) Army of Northern Virginia in a series of battles and skirmishes. In the early years of the Civil War, however, the Army of the Potomac suffered defeats at the Battle of the First Bull Run in 1861, the Peninsula Campaign and the Battle of Fredericksburg in 1862, as well as the Battle of Chancellorsville in 1863. Historians attribute its initial lack of victories to poor leadership from a succession of indecisive generals: Irvin McDowell (1818-1885), George McClellan (1826-1885), Ambrose Burnside (1824-1881), and Joseph Hooker (1814-1879). When General George Meade (1815-1872) took command of the Army of the Potomac in June 1863, he was successful in pushing the Army of Northern Virginia out of Pennsylvania following the Battle of Gettysburg.

Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Approved by: Chair of Committee, Joseph Dawson Committee Members, James Bradford Joseph Cerami Head of Department, Walter L. Buenger December 2005 Major Subject: History iii ABSTRACT The Battle of Sailor’s Creek: A Study in Leadership. (December 2005) Cloyd Allen Smith Jr., B.A., Slippery Rock University Chair: Dr. Joseph Dawson The Battle of Sailor’s Creek, 6 April 1865, has been overshadowed by Lee’s surrender at Appomattox Court House several days later, yet it is an example of the Union military war machine reaching its apex of war making ability during the Civil War. Through Ulysses S. Grant’s leadership and that of his subordinates, the Union armies, specifically that of the Army of the Potomac, had been transformed into a highly motivated, organized and responsive tool of war, led by confident leaders who understood their commander’s intent and were able to execute on that intent with audacious initiative in the absence of further orders. After Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia escaped from Petersburg and Richmond on 2 April 1865, Grant’s forces chased after Lee’s forces with the intent of destroying the mighty and once feared iv protector of the Confederate States in the hopes of bringing a swift end to the long war.

  • Strategic Challenges in American Military History
    Strategic Challenges in American Military History “This struggle is to save the Union”: Two Approaches to Executing President Lincoln’s Wartime Strategy “He [Lincoln] could think strategically,…Lincoln possessed one of the greatest qualities in leadership: the ability to learn. Able rhetorically to soar above all others in his vision and evocation of the Union, he was also a ruthless pragmatist when it came to measures related to winning the war. He once said in 1862 that he ‘was pretty well cured of any objection to any measure except want of adaptedness to putting down the rebellion.’ His record bears out his words.” Donald Stoker, The Grand Design: Strategy and the U.S. Civil War Questions for Consideration What do you think Donald Stoker means when he says that “He [Lincoln] could think strategically”? How is this different from thinking at the operational or tactical levels? Why is it so important to have a national leader that can think strategically as opposed to delving in to operational or tactical issues? REFERENCES • Glatthaar, Joseph T.
