So in effect you are saying that the army of Generals Grant and Meade was better than Napoleon’s army. General Lee failed in trying to make mince meat out of them.

The Union Army and the Confederate Army were superior to all of the Armies of Europe at the time. The Military academies of Europe studied the Civil War and mostly General Lee and Sherman right up to today. I never thought of it but the two Armies combined could would have been totally unbeatable.

So yes, the Army of Potomac would also have made mince meat out of Napolean's Perfumed And feathered peacock Army.
