Why did Pres. Lincoln replace General George McClellan with General Sherman?
Lincoln did replace General McClellan. However, he called upon General Ambrose Burnside rather than General Sherman. President Lincoln had almost nothing but trouble out of McClellan who had enjoyed one of the first Union successes of the war in a minor local affair on the Ohio River, and so was brought east to take command of the Army of the Potomac following the disaster of the First Battle of Bull Run. McClellan was good at one thing: training soldiers, but in other military functions, he was incompetent, insolent, and overly cautious: to the point of insubordination. Some, and especially Lincoln, felt that his slow pace was deliberate and designed to needle the president. Further, he had demonstrated his disrespect for the president in several incidents so, after the mid-term elections, Lincoln relieved him of command.
