Best of Lincoln's Political Generals?
Recently read the article, "Lincoln and His Political Generals" by Brooks D. Simpson. He gives an overview of the five most prominent Union political generals of the war: Benjamin F. Butler, Nathaniel P. Banks, John A. McClernand, Franz Sigel and John C. Fremont. How would you rate the generalship of these five men? Who do you think was the best of Lincoln's political generals?
