Most of you will be familiar with George McClellan and his role during the ACW. However, a lesser-known fact is that McClellan fancied himself as a possible Dictator of the United States, writing letters stating his belief that he could seize control if he wanted to. So the question is: what if McClellan tried to install himself as dictator? When would he attempt a coup, how likely is he to succeed and how would a coup (successful or not) affect the war effort and the US as a whole?
