— George B. McClellan A bold and defiant statement from the commander of the Army of the Potomac during the American Civil War. McClellan often clashed with leaders in Washington — particularly President Abraham Lincoln — over strategy, reinforcements, and the pace of operations. His confidence in his own abilities was matched only by his frustration with political interference. Love him or criticise him, “Little Mac” never lacked belief in himself. #AmericanCivilWar #GeorgeMcClellan
