OOHHHHHH BOY I gotta pick me some nits!

1) The Army of the Potomac was first constituted under Irvin McDowell. George McClellan had an independent command in western Virginia (what would become West Virginia) at the time.

2) Pope's an okay addition, but he technically never commanded the "Army of the Potomac"; he had his own command, styled the Army of Virginia, that merely had nearly every unit in the Army of the Potomac transferred to it.

3) After Hooker comes Meade! He took command after Chancellorsville and technically led the Army of the Potomac for the rest of the war.

4) Grant also never actually commanded the Army of the Potomac, per se. He was promoted to the revived rank of lieutenant general, made General-In-Chief, and had control over all Union armies. He simply chose to direct his affairs from the front in Virginia. Meade still nominally commanded the army.

So your list should look like: McDowell, McClellan, *Pope, McClellan, Burnside, Hooker, Meade, *Grant.

GOD I'M SUCH A [censored] NERD AND A SHOWOFF, UGH.

Okay, done.
