Despite a poor performance along the Mississippi McCown was promoted to major-general on march 10th, 1862. After being sent to east Tennessee he took part in the Confederate invasion of kentucky. He was considered the worst division commander in the army by Bragg but was chosen to lead the attack at Stone's River. Bragg blamed him for the defeat and brought him up on charges. McCown was found guilty and relieved of duty for 6 months. He never again held a major command.
