Who was the general after mcclellan?
McClellan was appointed twice and replaced once as Commander of the Army of the Potomac. After he was pushed off the York/James peninsula(The Seven Days' Battles) by Lee, he was relieved of that command. Then after John Pope was repulsed at Second Manassas McClellan was reappointed by Lincoln. He led the A.o.P. through the Sharpsburg/Antietam Campaign,but when he failed to vigorously pursue Lee after the battle(allowing Lee's Army to get back into Virginia) Lincoln was through with him and relieved him permanently. The two men never had liked each other and in the 1864 election McClellan ran against Lincoln for President. After his first dismissal I don't think anyone was appointed because the Second Manassas Campaign(John Pope) was almost immediately after that but under separate command. After McClellan's second dismissal Ambrose Burnside was appointed but he only lasted for one battle(Fredericksburg) then he was replaced by Joseph Hooker.

Following the issuance of the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, many Black men enlisted in the Union Army, and some served in regiments like the United States Colored Troops. However, their presence was still relatively limited at that time compared to later battles, as many Union commanders, including McClellan, were initially hesitant to fully integrate Black soldiers into combat roles.

Famous then and later for over estimating the size of Confederate armies, Major General George B. McClellan was falsely alarmed about the size of Confederate troops that would be soon threatening Washington DC. In mid-August of 1861, he made it clear that his Army of the Potomac, still in a training mode, would soon have to face as many as 170,000 Southern troops. In reality, the Rebel force in northern Virginia at that time had only 45,000 troops. At the same time his army had at least 80,000 men.
