Why did General George B. mcclellan did not finish off General Robert E lees troops when he had a the chance?

General George B. McClellan did not finish off General Robert E. Lee's troops during the Civil War due to several factors, including his cautious nature and an overestimation of Lee's strength. After the Battle of Antietam, McClellan hesitated to pursue Lee's retreating army, fearing they might be reinforced or counterattack. Additionally, he faced pressure from the Lincoln administration and concerns about the condition and morale of his own troops, which contributed to his reluctance to engage aggressively.

How might the Battle of Antietam been different if mccellan not found lees plan?

If McClellan had not found the "lost order" there may not have even been a Battle of Antietam(Sharpsburg). Lee would have been able to advance farther into the North without being checked at Boonesborough(South Mountain) and then concentrating his Army between Antietam Creek and the town of Sharpsburg. McClellan was notoriously cautious-some might even say overly-cautious. Even with Lee's whole battle plan in his posession he still moved as though he were blind.
