Given the seniority, abilities, and political considerations of Benjamin Butler and Franz Sigel what was the best use for them in 1864?
Put yourself in Grant's shoes in March-April 1864. He lacks confidence in these generals (for good reason), but can't sideline them entirely. You've only got the Major Generals available that Grant did as alternatives (no time to promote anyone else), but assume Lincoln is willing to shift them somewhere else provided it's an appropriate command for their rank and a satisfactory replacement is made. Keep in mind seniority issues in terms of who they report to, so you can't just shunt them off to a random division where they have seniority over their corps and army/department commanders.
