When did George B McClellan die?

Answer 1

General George Brinton McClellan was a Union general during the US Civil War. He is most profoundly known for "winning" the battle at Antietam. He was known as a very cautious general which is what caused him to be replaced by General John Popein 1862. After Pope was replaced he later regained his title as Union general and fought in many other minor battles. He was then replaced a second time by General Ambrose Burnside for the same reason as before. He later ran against Lincoln for the presidency of 1864. He lost. He later retired from the military to become a railroad engineer. Tragically, many years later he died of heart failure on October 29, 1885

He was a Union General. But he moved so slowly that some of Lincoln's cabinet began to question his loyalty.

After Lincoln fired him, he stood against him as Democrat candidate for President. If he'd won, there are no solid or supportable facts regarding on how he would end the Southern rebellion, a policy he made while running for office.

Answer 2

General George B. McClellan was selected to be the Union's general in chief. This was due to his experience as one of West Point's top graduates. The man had attended the prestigious University of Pennsylvania, as a teenager. He became an engineer at the US Military Academy. He was such a "outstanding" corpsman that the US army sent him abroad to witness the Crimean War. He had a fundamental disagreement with US President Lincoln over how the war should be fought. Few generals in the US Civil War had his intelligence nor his ability to organize and train raw troops. His brilliant plan to attack Richmond from the east coast failed due many problems, mostly his own for not striking when he had the advantage. He was clever enough, however, to have had both powerful Democratic and Republican newspapers absolve him for the failure in the Peninsular Campaign. In fact he was able to shift the blame of his defeat there on the Lincoln administration.
