Why was General Meade replaced my McClellan?
He wasn't. Meade wasn't replaced at all. He was in at the end. McClellan had been replaced by Burnside after the Battle of Antietam in September 1862 for failing to pursue and destroy Lee's army.
Who was the leader of the union in the Battle of Antietam?
The commander of the Unions Army of the Potomac at Antietam was Major General George B. McClellan.
What were the union efforts to capture the southern capital of Richmond in 1861-1863?
First, the Battle of Bull Run in July 1861 - a premature attempt to march on the Confederate capital, when neither side was ready for operations. Second, the Peninsula campaign, April 1862 - McClellan threatening Richmond with a big army arriving by sea. McClellan turned out to be all talk, no action. Third, Halleck's plan for McClellan and Pope to join forces, and overwhelm Lee through sheer numbers (August 1862). The unbeatable Lee-Jackson partnership saw them off. Fourth, the newly-appointed Burnside trying to dislodge the Confederates from the high ground at Fredersicksburg (December 1862). A good plan that suffered from delays, to which Burnside was not agile enough to react. Fifth, another attempt by the same army, now under Hooker, to destroy Lee, resulting in a devastating defeat at Chancellorsville.
Who were the generals of the battle of Seven Days?
George B. McClellan & Robert E. Lee
In which battle did General Lee defeat Pope?
