Initially, McClellan was trusted a military leader. He was able to successful train and equip the US military against the Confederacy. His planning proved to be detailed however, his perfectionist qualities made him slow to move and often without the aggression needed to fight the Confederacy. His plan was, theoretically, a good one in which troops would move east and come at Virginia from the water. This attack was aimed right at Richmond and if successful would have ended the war.

Answer:

He was receiving political pressure from his constituents.

Explanation:

The Anaconda Plan was created by Union General Winfield Scott, and came into use in 1862. It instituted a siege of the Confederacy by the Union, through a naval blockade, to control the Mississippi River and the Tennessee River, thereby fencing and dividing the Confederation.

Many people disapproved of this plan because, according to them, it was a very slow and passive plan, these people made political pressure on the president of the republic, causing Lincoln to abandon the Anaconda plan and adopt the McClellan strategy

Why were points 25 and 28 of the Articles of Capitulation so important?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

The Articles of Capitulation of Quebec were agreed upon between Jean-Baptiste Nicolas Roch de Ramezay, King's Lieutenant, Admiral Sir Charles Saunders, and General George Townshend on behalf of the French and British crowns during the Seven Years' War. They were signed on 18 September 1759, shortly after the Battle of the Plains of Abraham.[1]

All 11 demands of De Ramsay were granted by the British Army: the honors of war, the protection of the civilians and their properties, the free exercise of the Roman Catholic religion, etc. Several months later, on 28 April 1760, the French Royal Army attempted to retake Quebec City, at the Battle of Sainte-Foy. Although victorious in battle, the French were unable to retake the city due to a lack of naval support. He was prompted to lift the siege after the French Navy was defeated at the Battle of Neuville.

Nearly a year after the Articles of Capitulation for Quebec was signed, the government of New France capitulated in Montreal after a two month British campaign on 8 September 1760.
