Grant George Meade George McClellan, Again! Battle of Bull Run (1st Manassas) July, 1861 Formation of Army of the Potomac – Summer 1861 …Presdt, Cabinet, Genl Scott & all deferring to me—by some strange operation of magic I seem to have become the power of the land. ... I almost think that were I to win some small success now I could become Dictator or anything else that might please me—but nothing of that kind would please me— therefore I won't be Dictator. Admirable selfdenial!– George B. McClellan, July 26, 1861 McClellan: I Can Do It All! McClellan on Lincoln [Lincoln is] "nothing more than a wellmeaning baboon", a "gorilla", and "ever unworthy of ... his high position.” The Confederate Generals “Stonewall” Jackson Nathan Bedford Forrest George Pickett Jeb Stuart James Longstreet Robert E.

Under ordinary circumstances the Federal Army should have been destroyed. General Robert E. Lee Union 16,000 of 105,000 My conscience is clear at least to this extent—viz.: that I have honestly done McClellan the best I could; I shall leave it to others to decide whether that was the he insisted best that could have been done—& if was they find any who can do better am perfectly willing to step aside & give outnumbered way. Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan The Battle of the Ironclads, March, 1862 The Monitor vs. the Merrimac Damage on the Deck of the Monitor War in the East: 1861-1862 Battle of Antietam SINGLE BLOODIEST DAY IN AMERICAN HISTORY September 17, 1862 23,000 casualties 3654 dead (Sept. 11-2,977 [minus hijackers]) of the field was cut as closely as could have been done with a knife, and the [Confederates] slain lay in rows precisely as they had stood in their ranks a few moments before.” Gen. Joseph Hooker “General McClellan had committed barely 50,000 infantry and artillerymen to the contest. A third of his army did not fire a shot. Even at that, his men repeatedly drove the Army of Northern Virginia to the brink of disaster, feats of valor entirely lost on a commander thinking of little beyond staving off his own defeat.”– Stephen W.
