Best Answer

Both Henry W. Halleck and West Point Professor Dennis Mahan saw great value in the two line infantry formation. They were joined in their opinion about its use by military theorist Henri Jomini. These three military experts also agreed that for the two line formation to be effective, the lines should be maintained in good order and that formations loosely marching into battle would give an enemy a chance to break through such a formation.

What did General in Chief Henry W Halleck believe was the best strategy to end the Southern rebellion?

When President Lincoln appointed Henry W. Halleck as the Union's new general in chief, Halleck had a new outlook on the US Civil War. Halleck saw merit in General Winfield Scott's Anaconda Plan, however, Halleck's view was that simply trying to strangle the Confederacy was not enough to bring the war to an early conclusion. Halleck also believed that the Union's strong desire to capture Richmond was misplaced. Halleck believed that capturing Richmond would only force the Confederates to relocate their capitol city.Halleck also saw Virginia as a stalemate and his intentions were to look to the Western Theater as a means to end the Southern rebellion in a timely manner. Halleck believed that the politics of Washington DC and the areas north of it hindered the war effort. Fighting vigorously in the West had a better chance of success. Halleck wanted to maximize the Union victories in the West. Therefore, he wanted to pursue military opportunities in the West and by doing so would also remove pressure by the Confederates on Washington DC. President Lincoln endorsed Halleck's about focusing more attention to the Western Theater.

What facts did General Halleck take into account regarding a continuation of the Peninsula Campaign?

General George B. McClellan was positive that he needed an additional 20,000 troops to continue the Peninsula Campaign and informed generals Halleck and Meigs that the Confederates had at least 200,000 troops guarding Richmond. He did however, believe that his requested army of 110,000 troops would enable him to advance towards Richmond. At best, Halleck and Meigs believed the Confederate forces numbered 105,000, however the Confederates had much less than that. After returning to Washington DC, both Halleck and Meigs recommended that McClellan and the Army of the Potomac leave the peninsula and head for northern Virginia.
