The Peninsula Campaign was fought from March to July 1862 by the Army of the Potomac, commanded by Maj. Gen. George McClellan. McClellan's overcautious approach led to a retreat by his army to the James River and it was eventual recalled to the defense of Washington DC in August 1862.
Most of them, depending on your perspective. The one generally considered overly cautious is General McClellan, who led the entire Union Army in late 1861 and early 1862. Even with extreme superior numbers in men, cannon, and supplies he did not attack South for months. When he finally did, he moved south around Richmond and landed on the James peninsula, then slowed his assault as he believed his force was outnumbered 2 to 1. He was eventually relieved of command after the debacle of the Seven Days Campaign and his terrible inactivity.
