Moving on: one huge problem afflicting the Northern army was
McClellan, who had delusions of grandeur combined with a fear of
fighting. Anecdote:
Lincoln and friend Ozias Hatch were on a bluff overlooking the Army of
the Potomac. Lincoln leaned over and whispered, "Hatch: What is
that!?" Hatch: "Why, Mr. Lincoln, it's the Army of the Potomac."
Lincoln (in a loud voice): "No, Hatch, no! That is General McClellan's
bodyguard!"
Another: "If General McClellan isn't using the army, I'd like to
borrow it."
In my opinion McClellan did not want to win and was little more than a
Copperhead in uniform.
