Generals Winfield Scott and Irving McDowell opposed the plan to invade Virginia, defeat any Confederate forces and capture Richmond. General Scott opposed the plan because he believed such a battle would end any Unionism that still existed in the South. General McDowell informed President Lincoln that he did not believe he could defeat both Confederate armies waiting for the Union attack. He also believed that the troops under the command of General Paterson were to far apart to reinforce each other. These issues were discussed at the White House in late June of 1861.
