How did General George B McClellan prevent the Union's chance to win at the Second Battle of Bull Run?
On August 25, 1862, General Halleck asked General McClellan to go to Alexandria Virginia and expedite the forward movement of General William Buel Franklin's Vl Corps . Halleck had already communicated to Franklin that he was to head south to reinforce Pope's army. McClellan countermanded those orders explaining to Halleck that Franklin lacked sufficient draft animals and wagons to move his artillery. He added that the absence of cavalry scouting made such a march dangerous. And, McClellan claimed that until the Vl Corps disembarked from their sea transport, sending Franklin would be a serious error.When Stonewall Jackson struck at Manassas, he cut Pope's communications. There is no way to ascertain as to whether Franklin's advance as ordered by General Halleck could have prevented that. With that said, it's clear that if Franklin had been allowed to march south he certainly would have made Jackson's raid on Manassas more complicated and more difficult.
