As a general of the Army of the Potomac and for a time the general in chief of the Union forces, George McClellan of course was on the Union side. He believed that the Southern States were in a rebellion against the legal Federal Government and his goal was to bring them back into the Union.

After he was relieved of his military duties, he focused on becoming a politician and ran as a Democrat in the 1864 presidential elections. He still believed that the Union could be made whole again, and his goal was to end the bloody fighting and reach some kind of agreement to have the Union become one identity again.
