I am not really sure if the losing generals in the beginning of the war even had a party. We know that after the war Grant was a Republican but I really see no listing of party connections for all the generals on the Northern side. If you have one I would be glad to see it.

Michele, you couldn't be more wrong. Lincoln was known for reaching out to those who didn't think like him. He appointed his political enemies into his cabinet, and his administration was rife with checks and balances that he created (a model for any real democratic republic).

Lincoln surrounded himself with people who didn't agree with him. that was a LEGACY of his, and probably the reason the civil war was won. What are you talking about? I hate the fact that so many wish their party had power, no matter how they got it, no matter how bad it is for the whole of america. Truly sickens me.
