George B. McClellan (General)

George B. McClellan was a Union general during the American Civil War, known for his organizational skills and training of soldiers. He took command early in the war and helped build the Army of the Potomac into a disciplined fighting force. However, he was often hesitant to attack Confederate forces, leading to missed opportunities and criticism. Despite his strategic abilities, his cautious approach and disagreements with political leaders limited his effectiveness. After the war, he became a politician, even running unsuccessfully for president. McClellan remains a significant figure for his influence on Union military efforts and his complex leadership style.
