George McClellan, also known as "Little Mac, " was a prominent figure during the American Civil War. As General George B. McClellan, he commanded the Union Army of the Potomac in 1862. Despite his military prowess and organizational skills, he faced criticism for his cautious approach to battle. In 1864, during the presidential campaign, McClellan took center stage in political cartoons by John L Magee. One such illustration depicted him as a skilled performer in a two-horse act, highlighting his bid for presidency. Another portrayed him alongside Shakespeare's Hamlet, questioning where his critics were now. McClellan's affiliation with the Democratic Party earned him support from Copperheads (Peace Democrats) who idolized him despite their controversial stance on war. An anonymous cartoon showcased these Copperheads worshipping their political idol. However, not all depictions were favorable towards McClellan. In an anonymous artwork titled "Little Mac Trying to Dig His Way to the White House, " he is shown attempting to reach power but being frightened by spiritual manifestations along the way. The Chicago Platform became a subject of debate during this time - whether it represented peace or war was questioned through satirical illustrations like "The Chicago Platform: What is It? Peace or War?" created anonymously. Other images captured significant moments in McClellan's career such as "Head Quarters at Harrisons Landing" and "Scene in Pleasant Valley. " These photographs provide glimpses into his leadership and presence on the battlefield. Even after retiring from politics and military service, George Brinton McClellan remained an influential figure. Julian Scott's portrait of him in 1888 immortalizes his legacy as one of America's notable leaders during a tumultuous period in history.
