I will be honest in stating that my family history and sympathy lies with the Confederacy. However, with that said, McClellan was abolutely incompetent. He was the General Weasly Clark of the Civil War.

Neah.
McClellan just had the wrong job.
It today’s terms, he should have been in charge of training and doctrine. Grant fought a heck of a war with the army that McClellan built.
But McClellan just wasn’t capable of fighting such a war, with ANY army...

...However, with that said, McClellan was absolutely incompetent....

Yeah, and if you ever did any horseback riding on one of his namesake saddles you'd really cuss him. :^)

You're giving Wesley Clark too much credit for competence. McClellan was at the very least a superb trainer & organizer. He probably would have made a great Chief of Staff had Halleck not held the job.

I'd compare McClellan to another "Gen. Clark"... General Mark Clark of WW2 'fame'. Another general who believed his press clippings.
