Was US President Lincoln responsible for the Union defeat in the Peninsula campaign?
It would be unfair to blame President Lincoln for the defeat of Union forces involved with the Peninsula campaign. General George B. McClellan had many chances to take advantage of his superior numbers in troops and his advantage by forcing the South's hand by attacking Richmond from the east on the peninsula. His failures of command, especially regarding his unneeded siege of Yorktown gave the South plenty of time to react.

What was one action President Lincoln took to help his chances in the 1864 presidential elections?
The 1864 presidential elections were crucial for the North to win the war. President Lincoln believed that if he lost the election, the Union would be defeated. To help secure his victory, he applied pressure on his generals to allow troops from Indiana and other states that did not permit voting in the field. He wanted loyal Union soldiers to be granted furlough to leave their posts and return home to vote.

How did the caution of President Lincoln prevent the success of the Peninsula campaign?
It should be noted that President Lincoln and his secretary of war of war, Edwin Stanton, agreed to remove from Major General George B. McClellan, his position of general in chief as the Peninsula campaign took McClellan to Fort Monroe. The major problem was that they did not have another general waiting in the wings to be the Union's general in chief.Lacking one, Lincoln and Stanton, tried to assume that position all on their own. This was an error. Both men were over cautious about defending Washington DC, while McClellan was marching against Richmond. This over cautious stance diminished the success of the Peninsula campaign in that General McDowell's army was kept back to defend the Union capitol city. The chances of Confederate General Joseph Johnston to attack Washington DC, which would only be a temporary victory, were next to nothing. McClellan correctly believed that Johnston could not attack or even capture Washington DC, and sacrifice Richmond. Richmond's loss would be permanent. At that time, any Southern incursion north of the Potomac River could only be temporary. Knowing what is now known about Jefferson Davis, he would never allowed Johnston to undertake such a risky adventure.
