Union General in Chief George B. McClellan recommended that the wooded terrain in most of the battlefields of the South would limit the range of rifled barreled cannons. He urged that two thirds of the army's artillery remain with smooth-bores and the other third with rifled cannon barrels. Slowly riffled cannons increased in numbers and by the end of the war the ratio between the two types were even.

What was General George B. McClellan's policy regarding the beginning of a battle?

In August of 1861, Major General George B. McClellan began to set policies and guidelines for the army he was training in Washington DC. As a general rule, McClellan made it clear that artillery batteries needed to be concentrated on a decisive point in the enemy's lines. When it was clear that the enemy was damaged by the artillery, the infantry could then advance. Cavalry units would stand in reserve and be ready to take advantage of the infantry's progress against the enemy.Of course, these general policies could be changed if circumstances warranted it.
