      I think McClellan was hot trash, I think Woodrow Wilson was a genuinely horrifyingly bad person with bad intentionshttps://twitter.com/CTayloeH3/status/1415704707096477697 …

      Like, one was bad at his job while not apparently knowing that he was bad at his job and then running for PRESIDENT in 1864 because he had excessive dip on his chip, and one was a horrifyingly horrible person who used power to put racist policies and practices into place.

      Woodrow Wilson was a very intelligent person who very intelligently resegregated the federal workforce and gave the support of the state to a reenergized Klan. George McClellan was just a trash general who didn't appear to know it.

          I’m convinced McClellan wanted the south to win.

          They say McClellan was good at training and morale, which is a good example of why there always seem to be sports teams that go deep into playoffs w/coaches who struggle w/in-game strategy. A coach who was good at strategy but bad at instruction/morale wouldn't even get that far.

          Now in McClellan's case he was just SO bad at in-game strategy that he didn't even get close to winning. But in war and in sports, a big part of the job of management is the part of the job that doesn't happen on game day and that people can't see.

          Jane, I am interested in deep-diving Wilson's Klan connections...can you recommend some good reading sources on that? Thanks for the help...

          “We want one class of persons to have a liberal education, and we want another class of persons, a very much larger class of necessity in every society, to forgo the privilege of a liberal education and fit themselves to perform specific difficult manual tasks.” - Woodrow Wilson

          Wilson's foreign policy principles had merit and important lasting influence, even if Wilson himself didn't always follow them (e.g., intervening in the affairs of Latin American nations). There's that anyway.

          McClellan had some early tailors to n Missouri/Kentucky that he blamed on subordinates and instances where he took credit for others’s successes. He would have never had to e opportunity to screw up the peninsula campaign without having done so, so He knew
