What four areas of commentary can help describe the performance of General George B McClellan after his removal in 1862?

Without question the former general in chief General George B. McClellan, was a major figure in the US Civil War. This is especially true when one considers that he ran against US President Lincoln in 1864. With that said, his active military career in the US Civil War can be discussed in four ways:* Misconduct by refusing to obey orders from President Lincoln;* McClellan's political opinions that led to ignoring President Lincoln's method of conducting the war;* Supportive comments for McClellan from critics of President Lincoln; and* Praise for organizing the Army of the Potomac into a viable military force.As an aside, McClellan's praise for the superior Confederate generals is another way to assess McClellan's performance.

Describe what General George McCellan's Role in the Civil War?

George McClellan was a major Union general during the American Civil War. He organized the Army of the Potomac and served briefly as the general in chief of the Union Army. Earlier in the war, he played an important role in raising a well-trained and organized army for the Union. Although his plans were meticulous, McClellan often overestimated the strength of enemy units and was reluctant to apply principles of mass, which meant that he often left parts of his army unengaged at decisive points. McClellan's leadership skills during battle were questioned by President Lincoln. This led to Lincoln removing McClellan from his command, first as general in chief and then from the Army of the Potomac.
