He was a bloody one. Which Union general did Mary Lincoln call "the Butcher"?

In the spring of 1864, the Overland Campaign saw a massive loss on the Union side, inspiring Mary Lincoln's nickname for General Ulysses S. Grant. In fact, Robert E. Lee's army saw only half the casualties during this campaign. However, across the entire war, Lee's Army of Northern Virginia had a higher body count than his opponent's, making him the war's bloodiest general.
