which characteristic ultimately led to general mcclellan's replacement as commander of the union army?

Answer 1

General McClellan's cautious and overly defensive approach to warfare ultimately led to his replacement as commander of the Union Army. He was criticized for his reluctance to engage the enemy and his failure to capitalize on opportunities to defeat the Confederate Army. President Lincoln ultimately felt that McClellan's leadership style was hindering the Union's ability to win the war, leading to his replacement.
