History places the blame for the failed Union Peninsula campaign on the shoulders of General George B. McClellan, and is correct in doing so. However, there was plenty of blame to spread around. President Lincoln was overly cautious in keeping so many soldiers to protect Washington DC. It already had a superior set of fortification. And, with the withdrawal of Confederate forces towards protecting Richmond there was no danger for an assault on Washington DC. In fact, by not reinforcing McClellan, he allowed the Confederate army of Joseph Johnston to have an interior lines position. His army lay between Washington DC and McClellan's troops.
