In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln appointed General George B. McClellan as the general-in-chief of the Union armies. McClellan had previously demonstrated organizational skills and leadership during the early months of the Civil War, particularly during the Peninsula Campaign. However, his cautious approach and reluctance to engage aggressively in battle led to frustrations among Lincoln and other military leaders. Ultimately, McClellan was removed from this position in 1862 due to his inability to deliver decisive victories.
