When Union General in Chief Halleck was in Washington DC, he and US President Lincoln agreed that based on previous experiences, the Union army should steer clear of Richmond because of its vast network of entrenchments. Ironically, Confederate General Robert E. Lee felt the same way.For Lee, Richmond's dependence on food from the Shenandoah Valley, was reason enough not to have Richmond under a Union siege at that time.
Now the Union high command failed to understand this as a weakness. Undoubtedly Lincoln and Halleck failed to understand that a farmland nation would have difficulty in supplying Richmond or the Army of Northern Virginia when it was two-fold dependent on both a railway and a canal to supply Richmond and/or a Southern army on the move.
