How about George C. McClellan! I think he's the best Union general. He was a far better technical general then tactical general. If he had built and trained the AOP the way it became the US would have not beaten the CS in 4 years.

A very perceptive comment.

Suggest you read Liddel Hart's analysis of McClellan's penisula campaign.  

If Lincoln had not be frightened by Jackson's Shendoah Valley campaign and had not withdrawn froces from McClellan, the war would have probably have ended years earlier.

What would likely have occured if Lincoln had not withdrawn forces from McClellan in the penisula campaign?
