26 Jul 1861 Jahr - George McClellan is appointed commander of the Army of the Potomac

Beschreibung:

He was a perfectionist to a fault and was reluctant to take any risk. He moved very slowly and lost really any good opportunity to attack because he waited too long. He was in charge of the Peninsula Campaign. He captured Yorktown after a month but then was stopped by Lee near Richmond.
