History of FT. McClellan

History of FT McClellan, Alabama, began in 1917 to July 1999. Located near Anniston, Alabama, it is the first and only military facility nearby. On July 1, 1929, the McClellan battalion was officially changed to McClellan. From 1861 to 1862, McClellan was named after the army's general commander, Major George McClellan. This is the first military facility in the south to commemorate the Northern General. McClellan was used as a mobilization camp, soldiers of World War II were trained.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether general McClellans were "judged" fairly by historians and whether his incapacity was effective. In his history with George B. McClellan in his book George B. McClellan, Thomas Rowland is trying to give McClellan a fair view based on his other. McClellan that history is not so friendly to this unfortunate generals Discuss other discussions read by historians. McClellan was one of the benchmarks of how contemporary American generals have taken actions, such as the desert shield / generals Norman Schwarzkopf during the operation of Arashi and former Yugoslavia incident by Colin Powell, Joint Chief of Staff. The reason McClellan compared him with these two contemporary colleagues was almost the same as he hesitated or hesitated to take appropriate action in the face of a similar situation (Roland) , 1998, page 10)

In 2000 my book "Wheat G: American hero's death" was published. General George McClellan has gained considerably low reputation over the years. Many reasons are political. McClellan is a conservative Democrat, and the respected Lincoln he met in the 1864 presidential election is a calm Republican and of course the winner also writes this history. In fact, highly educated and sophisticated McClellan shows a low opinion on Abraham Lincoln, which is rather rude. The general remembered the fact that what is behind the infinite interesting story of the President is a deep understanding of man that it is very tedious and wasting time to waste the very busy president there is not.

After leaving the army in 1864, George B. McClellan took part in politics when he was nominated as presidential candidate for his former boss, Abraham Lincoln. McClellan took part in the antiwar platform and promised to negotiate peace with the federal government to finish the war as soon as possible. But by November 1864, the success of the alliance made many people believe that war was at its final stage. McClellan resigned his military committee on the election day, but in the end Lincoln was elected for the second phase. After the war, former railway official McClellan served as an executive of several engineering companies and was elected governor of New Jersey in 1878.
