Answer:

General Winfield Scott was nicknamed "Old Fuss and Feathers" for his exaggerated adherence to the regulation and his rigorous property in dressing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Winfield Scott was an American general, diplomat and presidential candidate.

In the course of his 50-year career he participated in the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, the Black Hawk War, the Seminole Wars and briefly in the Civil War. He helped in the conception of the Anaconda Plan that would be used for the defeat of the Confederacy. He served as the Army's General Commander for twenty years, longer than any other in that position.
