Pressure from Confederate politicians who still had connections with people in western Virginia , created several plans in January of 1863 to retake western Virginia. The Confederates conducted several raids into that part of Virginia and even threatened the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Union General Joseph Hooker's activities in Virginia, however, placed any plans for western Virginia on hold.
The Confederacy made plans to control all of the James River with the goal of regaining both the lower peninsula and Norfolk Virginia. By March of 1864 they had three ironclads and troops from North Carolina ready to implement their plan.
