McClellan Rivalry and Civil War Politics at Chicago
A New York Tribune piece argues McClellan’s presidential bid is built on Union failures and Buchanan era allies. It contends his strength comes from war weariness and anti-Rebellion sentiment, not his own military record, and warns that political handlers may deliver a Buchanan-like administration. The piece challenges McClellan’s alignment with slaveholders’ rebellion and weighs future nomination against harder rivals.
