Why was battle of Yorktown called the peninsular campaign?
Yorktown is located on the northern shore of a Virginia peninsula extending into Chesapeake Bay, bounded by the York River on the north and the James River on the south. These are wide tidal rivers at this point.However I have never heard the Revolutionary War Battle of Yorktown called "the peninsular campaign". There was a campaign during the American Civil War on this same peninsula in 1862 which IS called the Peninsular Campaign, involving Union and Confederate forces. This involved the effort of Federal troops under McClellan to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond by approaching from the east, after landing at the tip of the Peninsula. The initial Confederate defense line the Federal troops encountered was in the vicinity of Yorktown, and some of the trenches from eighty years before were occupied again.
Why was McClellan's Campaign called the Peninsular Campaign?
This campaign is called the Peninsular (peninsula) Campaign because the action was fought on the peninsula of land bounded on the north by the York River, the south by the James River and extending out to Chesapeake Bay. The Battles of Yorktown (which was not a battle but a siege that produced next to no results for McClellan) Williamsburg, Hanover Court House, Seven Pines, and the battles of The Seven Days were all fought during this expedition. The thrust of the campaign was the capture of the Confederate capital at Richmond, Virginia but it ended in failure.
