I'm assuming you mean major Union generals at Battle of the Wilderness,whom were:Lieutenant-General Ulysses Grant,commander of all United States forces;Major-General George Meade,commander of Army of the Potomac;Major-General Winfield S.Hancock,commanding 2nd Corps,Army of the Potomac;Major-General Gouveneur Warren,commanding 5th Corps,Army of the Potomac;Major-General John Sedgewick,commanding 6th Corps,Army of the Potomac.Major-General Ambrose Burnside commanded 9th Corps,an independent command,since he out-ranked Major-General Meade.Cavalry Corps was commanded by Major-General Phillip Sheridan.For more info, the book GENERALS IN BLUE is good.
