        then later asked McClellan if he could borrow the Army since he wasn't going to use it.

        @SarahJBGraff A poor choice. McClellan was too afraid of losing to risk winning. Lincoln was plagued by poor Generals.

        McClellan ran for President against Lincoln in 1864. Thankfully, he lost.

        Historians should realize that McClellan's actions at all day battle of Williamsburg indicated how poor of a commander he was
