"This report is important not only as a military campaign
report, but as a brief history of condition in the western Virginia
counties that became West Virginia. McClellan was accutely aware of
the advantages to be gained by the North if he could establish a
foothold in that area."
-- Jan Dickinson, author of TATTERED UNIFORMS AND BRIGHT BAYONETS:
WEST VIRGINIA'S CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS
Born in Philadelphia on December 3, 1826, George B. McClellan
graduated from West Point in 1846 before serving in the Mexican
War. At the start of the Civil War, McClellan was put in a position
of leadership and after a successful campaign in Virginia he was
given command of the Army of Potomac, one of the Union's strongest
armies. He led the Peninsular campaign with almost 100,000 troops
under his command. marching toward Richmond.
Although McClellan was a brilliant administrator who possessed
good strategic sense, the record shows that he was overcautious and
consistently overestimated the strength of his adversaries, always
demanding more men and supplies before undertaking offensive
action. In 1862, McClellan disagreed with Abraham Lincoln and
advanced on Richmond from the east instead of moving directly,
against the Confederates at Manassas, Virginia. Although the Union
army was successful during the Peninsular campaign, their failure
to take Richmond, the Confederate capital, gave the South new
motivation. Dissatisfied with the campaign and McClellan, Lincoln
replaced him with Henry W. Halleck as commander-in-chief.
After the defeat of the Union army. in the Second Battle of Bull
Run, . he was again placed in active command of the Army of the
Potomac. His overcautiousness at the battle of Antietam on
September 17, 1862, led to a draw instead of a Union victory.
Because of the heavy Union losses, he was again relieved of his
command by Lincoln for the duration of the war.
The Democratic Party nominated McClellan in 1864 as its
candidate for president a peace platform, but Abraham Lincoln
defeated him. After serving as governor of New Jersey From 1878 to
1881, McClellan diedin Orange. New Jersey on October 29, 1885.
