	<b>Georgeb> B. McClellan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		<b>Georgeb> Brinton McClellan (December 3, 1826– October 29, 1885) was a major general, second commander of the Army of the Potomac, and the General-in-Chief of the Union Army during the first years of the American Civil War.
		General McClellan also seemed never to grasp that he needed to maintain the trust of Lincoln, and proved to be frustratingly insubordinate to the commander-in-chief.
		Urged to remove McClellan from command, Lincoln compromised by taking some of McClellan's men and some newly organized units to create the Army of Virginia under John Pope, who was to advance towards Richmond from the northeast.
