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.
