Gen. McClellan was in command during the Pennisular Campaign that included a few battles and some that didn't happen. Williamsburg, Yorktown, Drewey's Bluff, Hannover Courthouse, Battle of Seven Pines, and Seven Days Battle. His command culminated in the Battle of Antietam. Soon after the battle, President Lincoln visited Gen. McClellan at the battle field and annonced his replacement. In 1864, McClellan ran against President Lincoln, thus his only political battle. General McClellan was a cautious general and tended to avoid battles. But he was responsible for training the Union army that would continue to have an impact on the battles that followed.
Running back in war is often referred to as "retreat." It involves withdrawing troops from an area to avoid defeat, regroup, or reassess strategy. Retreat can be a strategic maneuver or a sign of losing ground in battle. The term can also imply a loss of morale or order among the troops.

Based on the post war writings of Confederate General PT Beauregard, artillery played a major role in the Battle of Shiloh. It was vital that the Confederates create a Union surrender on the first day of the battle. If this had been the case, the nigh time arrival of Union General Don Carlos Buell and his 20,000 troop reinforcements would have caused Buell to retreat. As it happened, Beauregard wrote that the ability of the Union's artillery late on April 6, 1862 was the reason that the Federals under US Grant were able to avoid defeat. The Union's artillery batteries numbering 20 cannon provided an effective defense that prevented Beauregard to force a Union surrender.
When General George B. McClellan held back two of his corps from reinforcing General Pope, it was far too late to help avoid Pope's defeat. What the two corps of McClellan's army did do, however, was to cover Pope's retreat from Lee's attempt to outflank Pope's Army of Virginia.

During the US Civil War it was important for troops to move in proper formations and to avoid fatigue prior to a battle. In preparation for his march from Pittsburg Landing to Corinth, Mississippi, General Sherman issued directions to his commanders for what he believed would be a two day journey. Corinth was 10 miles from Pittsburg Landing. Sherman mandated progress at two miles per hour. His officers were also reminded to make a designated number of short rest breaks in order to keep the soldiers in good shape in preparation for a battle. These plans were all changed however due to the unexpected Confederate attack which would be the Battle of Shiloh.
US President Lincoln was shocked and dismayed at the performance of his top generals when the Second Battle of Bull Run resulted in a Union defeat. The immediate response from Lincoln was to move General John Pope to a command in Minnesota and thus "out of the way". Lincoln was also upset the his general in chief, Henry Halleck had failed to coordinate the forces of Pope and McClellan to avoid the loss at Bull Run. Despite the objections of Lincoln's cabinet, Lincoln placed McClellan in charge of troops protecting Washington DC. The cabinet blamed Pope's failure by the deliberate inaction of McClellan. Lincoln did this as he was certain only the organizer and trainer of troops, General George B. McClellan was his only choice to defend Washington DC.

The Battle of Gettysburg was an "accidental" battle. It began when elements of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia(soldiers of Gen. Harry Heth's Division,of Gen. A.P. Hill's 3rd Corps) came in contact with Union Cavalry troops under Gen. John Buford's Command. Even though Lee had ordered his Army to avoid a general engagement, once the shooting started it would have been nearly impossible to avoid escalation to the full-scale battle which followed.
