"General Banks Division" was led by Maj Gen Nathaniel Banks, a Governor of Massachusetts and Speaker of the House (1856-57) prior to the war, to which Lincoln appointed him as a "political" appointment, drawing the ire of the rank-and-file officers. His service was less than stellar suffering large losses to Stonewall Jackson during the Valley Campaign and was an architect of the failed "Red River" campaign of 1864. He was, however, gifted on the "non-war" side of recruiting, morale, money and propaganda for the Army.
