Why didn't McClellan finish General Robert E Lees' troops when he had the chance?
McClellan was very cautious, which was his biggest fault. And, Lee's record had taught the Federals that he was not to be trifled with, so everything had to be perfect for them to attack Lee. Lee serenely awaited an attack for a day after Antietem, but McClellan simply didn't have the guts to do it. He could have wrecked Lee, but didn't, as both armies were mauled severely by the battle.
