John McClernand > 13th Corps

Quote from Video

McClernard complained to a chastened Stanton, who informed him that instead, he’d command the Army of the Tennessee’s 13th Corps. McClernand caught up with Sherman after Chickasaw Bayou declared himself in command as the senior officer.

John McClernand > colleagues and superiors

Quote from Video

He constantly denigrated colleagues and superiors to the press, the War Department, and Lincoln in his quest to raise his own star and get an independent command, much to Halleck and Grant’s disgust.
