As the leader of the Army of Ohio this man led a campaign in East Tennessee which successfully defended Knoxville from the forces of James Longstreet. This man led a campaign in 1862 which captured most of the coast of North Carolina as part of the Anaconda Plan. This man's Mud March, a failed attempt to surprise Lee's forces from behind after a crossing of the Rappahannock River, led to his replacement by Joseph Hooker. This man was permanently relieved of duty for his botched efforts in the Battle of the Crater which failed to end the Siege of Petersburg. This man was offered command of one army following the failure of the Peninsular Campaign and again after the Second Battle of Bull Run, but he only accepted the position after a battle in which he took hours trying to cross a bridge defended by Confederate sharpshooters which now bears his name, the Battle of Antietam. For 10 points, name this Union general who is best remembered for his disastrous attempt to take Richmond in 1862 after replacing George McClellan as commander of the Army of the Potomac which ended with the Battle of Fredericksburg.
