When the 1864 campaign opened in the early days of May, 1864, the two largest and most formidable armies of the United States were the Army of the Potomac in Virginia and the Army of the Cumberland outside Chattanooga. The latter also had its smaller partner armies - the Army of the Tennessee and the Army of the Ohio - but it constituted the bulk of the force under Sherman's command.
Here's my question. Between the two, which was the better army? Which was better led on the various levels, which had a more professional and efficient staff, which had better logistics, and so forth?
