He was too slow
Lincoln replaced George McClellan primarily due to his frustration with McClellan's cautious approach and inability to take decisive action against Confederate forces. Despite his organizational skills, McClellan's reluctance to engage in aggressive offensives, exemplified by the failure to pursue Lee after the Battle of Antietam, convinced Lincoln that a more aggressive commander was needed. Additionally, McClellan's growing political ambitions and public criticism of the administration further strained their relationship, ultimately leading to his removal in 1862.
McClellan's army was known as the Army of the Potomac. It was the primary Union army in the Eastern Theater of the American Civil War and played a significant role in several key battles. Commanded by General George B. McClellan, the army was involved in major campaigns such as the Peninsular Campaign and the Battle of Antietam. Despite its size and resources, the army often faced criticism for its cautious leadership.

McClellan was very cautious, which was his biggest fault. And, Lee's record had taught the Federals that he was not to be trifled with, so everything had to be perfect for them to attack Lee. Lee serenely awaited an attack for a day after Antietem, but McClellan simply didn't have the guts to do it. He could have wrecked Lee, but didn't, as both armies were mauled severely by the battle.
