All the battles cited in basic history about the Civil War revolve around the Army of the Potomac and the Army of Nothern Virginia and the Eastern Theater. I know that Grant was looked down upon as a "western" general when he took command of the Army of the Potomac, but I find it strange that you never hear much about the Western Theater.
Was the Western Theater inconsequential, or does it get slighted because it didn't involve capturing the enemy's capital, relegating to being a stepchild of history?
