In the Battle of Antietam who were the military leaders?
For the Union Major General George B. McClellan, for the Confederacy General Robert E. Lee. The fighting lasted one day, and tactically it was a draw. The next day Lee remained on the battlefield, daring McClellan to renew the battle, which McClellan did not do, despite having at least a two to one edge in manpower over the Rebels. Then Lee withdrew, south over the Potomac River, which was enough to allow northerners to consider the battle a northern victory, since when all was said and done the Union Army remained in possession of the field. McClellan did not try to stop Lee from leaving. A more capable or aggressive commander could probably have destroyed Lee's Army and ended the war on the day of the battle. Lincoln understood this and was immensely frustrated with McClellan, who did not stir from the battlefield for more than six weeks after the battle, even after Lincoln visited him on the battlefield and attempted to goad him into going after the Rebel Army. McClellan still did not move, and after another week, with the midterm elections safely past (McClellan was an important Democrat and Lincoln could not afford to offend northern Democrats) Lincoln fired McClellan. General McClellan never held another command during the war, but did run against Lincoln in the 1864 election as the Democratic candidate.
