What the fuck am I???
I'm pretty sure if we just charge at 'em, we'll win
Did you say charge??
I'm your man
Those faggots are actually charging...
>>443269
I actually have to say that McClellan had a point. Lincoln and Stanton were basically just pressuring him because the North wanted a quick, violent victory and didn't realize that it was going to take more than a single campaign to crush the South.

>mfw Longstreet thought the July 3rd charge was retarded, delayed the attack as long as he could, and wouldn't even speak the actual order, he could only nod his head gravely.
Gettysburg was Lee's fault desu.

Meade was pretty mediocre. He got lucky as shit at Gettysburg.

He'd have reached Richmond easily if Lincoln hadn't been an indecisive shit and made him lose momentum.

Gettysburg
>Loose ~20k men, barely less than the rebels, despite being in a superior position (Granted, most of the Union casualties were on the first and second days before Meade had taken full command)
The Wilderness
>Loose shit tons of men and suffer a tactical defeat despite the South using fucking skirmish order tactics to make up for their inferior numbers
Spotsylvania
>Repeatedly assault entrenched positions while never managing to get his army to actually work together long enough to win
Cold Harbor
>Launch repeated assaults on the Rebel line and get hammered worse than Burnside at Fredricksburg
Meade wasn't mediocre I guess, but he wasn't great either. I would say Meade was competent, but not really all that good or bad. I think he was a better Corps commander than anything else. It's also impossible to really know how he would have performed outside of Grant's influence because Gettysburg was the only major engagement he fought as sole overall commander of the army of the Potomac.
