NOVEMBER, 1862
LINCOLN FIRES GENERAL McCLELLAN FOR HIS
REPEATED DELAYING TACTICS

General George B. McClellan ably built the Union Army in the early stages of
the war and achieved some early successes. But by 1862, McClellan’s
campaigns became notorious for timidity and sluggishness. Just like the Judah
Benjamin’s Confederate Army passed up a golden opportunity to capture the
Union Capital (Washington DC) in 1861, McClellan was poised to take the

Confederate Capital (Richmond, Virginia) in 1862 – but chose to retreat to a
smaller-numbered force.

After the Robert E. Lee defeated the Union at Second Battle of Bull Run in late
August, 1862, he invaded Maryland. With the Confederates crashing into Union
territory, Lincoln had no choice but to turn to McClellan to stop Lee.

McClellan and Lee battled to a standstill along Antietam Creek near Sharpsburg,
Maryland. Lee retreated back to Virginia and McClellan ignored Lincoln’s
urging to pursue him. For six weeks, Lincoln and McClellan exchanged angry
messages, but McClellan stubbornly refused to march after Lee.

In late October, McClellan finally began moving across the Potomac in feeble
pursuit of Lee, but he took nine days to complete the crossing. Lincoln had seen
enough. Lincoln finally removed McClellan and named General Ambrose
Burnside to be the commander of the Army of the Potomac.

A picture now emerges of players on both sides of the conflict refusing to
press advantages that could end the war early. We have already reviewed the
intrigues of Judah Benjamin and his links to the Rothschild gang. Is there a
Rothschild player that we can connect McClellan too? There is.

Two years after his removal, at a time when the Union is winning the war,
McClellan will be named as the Democrat Presidential candidate to run against
Lincoln in 1864. The chairman of the Democrat Party, and enthusiastic supporter
