George McClellan was the general before Grant. After the battle of Richmond, Lincoln accused him of having the slows due to the fact that he was overly conservative and cautious. He did not pursue the southern retreat after the battle, a move which was considered by many a prolonging of the war. His decisions caused him to loose his position as general to Grant, a drunkard who was willing to take "necessary risks".
