How did adherence to the battle tactics of Henri Jomini hamper Union generals' battle performance?

Military theorist Henri Jomini's works on Napoleonic Era warfare was written in French, however, many Union generals had read translations of Jomini's ideas on warfare. One of Johmini's ideas about battles found a home in the thinking of many Union generals. One such idea was that Johmini advised one great offensive action centered on one theater of war. Theaters during the US Civil War were huge. Also, due to the tactical defensive nature of Confederate General Robert E. Lee and other Southern generals, the "one great effort" to destroy an enemy army within a single theater of war proved virtually impossible for Union generals.

Why was Lincoln forced to keep replacing his generals during the early years of civil war?

The first Union generals, save perhaps McClellan, were unwilling to go after the Confederate soldiers when they were at their weakest, and instead charged in and fought them when they were strong again. General Taylor was among the first generals to hit the enemy when they were vulnerable and weakened. So, Lincoln kept trying General after General until he found one that would fight. Oddly, that turned out to be McClellan, again, and he did well, but not great, at his 2nd chance in command. Later Generals were fine leaders and tacticians.
