After Burnside was swept out of the way, command fell to Joseph Hooker. As an old Potomac hand, he was well respected by the soldiers and morale immediately improved.

Both John Sedgwick and George Stoneman had clearly failed to carry out their orders... President Lincoln acknowledged that Hooker’s subordinates had failed him and allowed him to retain command.

Hooker was fighting with Halleck about reinforcements and impetuously wired Lincoln that if the Harpers Ferry garrison wasn’t assigned to him, he’d immediately resign. Lincoln accepted on June 27th. The first choice to replace Hooker was Reynolds... command passed to George Meade on June 28th.
