Who was the commander of the union troops before grant?
George McClellan was the general before Grant. After the battle of Richmond, Lincoln accused him of having the slows due to the fact that he was overly conservative and cautious. He did not pursue the southern retreat after the battle, a move which was considered by many a prolonging of the war. His decisions caused him to loose his position as general to Grant, a drunkard who was willing to take "necessary risks".
Lincoln once accused McClellan of having 'the slows'. What does this mean?
McClellan was super organized. He whipped the confused, disorganized, Army of the Potomac, into a fighting force. Still, he was extremely slow in getting his army moving. When he should have used forced marches, his army moved at a snail's pace. Lincoln wanted McClellan to get a move on.Lincoln was making a cutting remark about McClellan's slow movement to attack the Confederates. Lincoln's phrase was almost like saying McClellan had a disease or something as if it was an excuse. It is almost like saying "He has a cold" or "He has the flu".
