What rank was George McClelland in the American Civil War?

McClellan was a Major General ("two star general"). The Yankees had no one of higher rank than two stars, on the grounds that Washington had been a three star general, and nobody was as good as Washington, until Lincoln promoted Grant to three stars in 1864, so there would be no question that Grant outranked everybody and was in command. Grant was the only three star officer for the north - he was THE Lieutenant General. The south had 30 or so three stars and eight four stars.


Is a Major in the Air Force a higher rank than a Lt. Colonel?

no Lt. Colonel is higher Air Force Ranks: 2nd Lt, 1st Lt, Capt, Major, Lt Col, Col, Brig. Gen., Lt. Gen., Maj. Gen., General, then General of the air force ( which is like a 5 star general and normally only during time of war there will be one Dear Mr. William Galloway, With due respect to you, Mr. Galloway, I think Lt. General is one rank higher than Maj. General. In the order that you have mentioned the ranks in your posting, it appears that it is the other way. As far as my knowledge is concerned, a major general carries two stars while a lieutenant general carries three, a full pledge general, four. A brigadier general one. You are right on five-star general. As you surely know, among five-star generals were Gen. Omar Bradley, Gen. Douglas MacArthur and Pres. Dwight Eisenhower, to name just three.

How do you become a 5 star general?

There is more than one way to become a general. The most normal way would be that you start off your career by going to a military academy such as West Point, you then get a military position as an officer, but of much lower rank than general, possibly you would start as a lieutenant. You serve in the military and if you do well, you get promoted (and promotions come faster in times of war, when you would have greater opportunity to perform heroically, or to replace fallen superior officers). After decades of service you could eventually rise to the rank of general. Alternatively, lead a coup d'etat and create your own rank.


Who was a 4 star general in the civil war?

There were eight, all Confederates. In order of seniority Samuel Cooper, Albert Sidney Johnston, Robert E. Lee, Joseph E. Johnston, Pierre G. T. Beauregard, Braxton Bragg, Edmund Kirby Smith and John Bell Hood. The US Army had a tradition that since Washington had awarded himself the rank of three star Lieutenant General, and no one could be as good as Washington, that there were no higher ranking officers than two star Major Generals. This caused a lot of problems. Within the rank of Major General, seniority determined who would command. Some who were promoted to that rank early in the war, when they looked promising, turned out to be duds (Ben Butler). But there they were, senior to all other Major Generals of much greater merit. Lincoln solved this by making Grant a three star Lieutenant General, the first in the US Army since Washington, and the only Union soldier to hold that rank during the war.
