McClellan could have ended the war in 1862 at Antietam. He held back over 30,000 troops in reserve, ended the day in a draw, and let Lee escape back over the Potomac River overnight.
Result: two years later, Lee came back, this time through Gettysburg.
McClellan loved pomp,circumstance and parades - not so much the fighting.
