What was the strategy proposed by Major General George B McClellan after the Battle of Antietam?

After the Battle of Antietam and the Confederate retreat back to Virginia, General McClellan proposed a plan of action that appears to be a logical one from a military and political point of view. He proposed to prevent more Southern raids into the North by securing a line along the Potomac River and along the Shenandoah Valley. This plan was ambitious and required extensive bridge building and railroad constructions that would be fortified to protect them. He also saw the prospect of renewing his peninsula campaign in 1863 as the plans to secure the Potomac and the Shenandoah Valley would have protected Washington DC.
