Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

George B. McClellan was a Union general who was considered a great trainer of soldiers, but was often very reluctant to send or commit troops into battle.

  • This can be seen at the Peninsula Campaign and the Battle of Antietam.

Opportunities for important battles often came and went, but McClellan never took advantage of them, as he always claimed that his preparations were not yet complete, or that the movement was not right.

  • Because of this, he got the nickname "Tardy George".

Because McClellan was very hesitant to commit troops to battle, the answer is false.
