March 10, 1864---A General Partnership



MARCH 10, 1864:     

General Grant left Washington D.C. to travel to Virginia where he conferred with all of his subordinate commanders. He spent especial time with General Meade, delineating their separate roles. This was crucial, as Grant would be traveling with the Army of The Potomac and leading it in battle, while Meade, now his subordinate, would be in day-to-day command. In the end, they worked out a joint-command structure which became one of the most successful military partnerships of the war.
