Halleck came to the conclusion that even if McClellan did, his planned turning movement would result in becoming an exterior line of operation to General Lee's advantage. Confederate General Robert E. Lee was situated between the armies of Pope and McClellan and could thus form a concentration against either army and result in a major Union defeat. The exterior line situation that the Union had created was a potential disaster. The best move was to evacuate the Peninsula and join Pope in Northern Virginia.
General George B. McClellan believed that General in Chief Winfield Scott and President Lincoln were among a group in Washington DC that failed to properly recognize the gravity of the military situation the Union was in the Fall of 1861. McClellan, however had an ally in Edward M. Stanton. He was a fellow Democrat and a former member of President Buchanan's cabinet. The draft of McClellan's major strategy paper of October 1861 to Secretary of War, Simon Cameron reveals that it was written in part by Edwin Stanton. Apparently McClellan visited Stanton's home in Washington DC in an effort to avoid having to answer questions from President Lincoln's close friends and associates.
General George B. McClellan was an excellent commander when it came to building and properly organizing troops. He displayed that when US President Lincoln summoned him to Washington DC in the Summer of 1861. McClellan was also a great military strategist. He made superb operational and battle strategies. His problems were over estimating the size of armies of the South he had to face and always asking for more troops. He mistakenly relied all too often on Allan Pinkerton to gage for him the troop strength of the Confederates. He was reluctant to march into battle unless he believed he had an overwhelming advantage. Additionally, he and US President Lincoln differed on the way to conduct the war. This eventually led to his battlefield career. He was dismissed from commanding the Army of the Potomac in November of 862 and was transferred to Trenton, NJ.

In early 1862, Union General George B. McClellan remained the key for many Unionists for the defeat of the Confederacy. There was and still is the accurate idea that McClellan was the most intelligent and best military organizer the United States had. He was a student of war, and believed that the Napoleonic era method of war would, if properly implemented, cause a quick end to the Southern rebellion. Based on his own papers and letters, McClellan believed that he was the best hope the US had. With that said, he developed the Peninsula Campaign. It was an ingenious plan which would accomplish his goals of being infallible, keeping his person safe from harm, and creating a Napoleonic style victory to end the war.The culmination of his plans would be a decisive victory by capturing the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia. At this time in military history, the Napoleonic era campaigns were still part of modern day strategies. Employing the Napoleon style battle and victory, McClellan would destroy the morale of the South's ruling class which placed the South into the war. He would beat the South's Army of Northern Virginia, its prestige army and capture the enemy capital. This worked in the Mexican War and in the Crimean War. Richmond and the Army of Northern Virginia would be two centers of gravity to be defeated at the same time. Richmond was both a material and symbolic goal. By bringing an overwhelming force upon it, the Confederacy would see there was no chance to win the rebellion and settle for peace. Also, it was McClellan's idea that he wanted to pursue a short and least bloody a war as possible. By ending it in 1862, this would have been accomplished. As an aside, this was not the only battle where McClellan would be thinking in Napoleonic terms.
The problem of the Peninsula campaign was not its value but the failure of General George B. McClellan to execute the plan properly. The Peninsula campaign should never had been abandoned by President Lincoln. Lincoln's idea that Lee's army was the main Union target, was not consistent with his ideas in the West. There, neither Grant or Lincoln sought to target a Southern army. They targeted territory and cities.Based on the horrible results of Grant's Overland campaign, it's clear that a new Peninsula campaign should have been an alternative for the Union. There was no lack of troops. Lee could not have raided Pennsylvania if there were 50,000 troops and gunboats at Fort Monroe.There was every chance that Lee could have been successful in Pennsylvania. If he was, the Union was in serious trouble. Lee's raid across the Potomac should never had been permitted if Lincoln and Halleck saw the risks. The fact that Lee marched to Gettysburg in June -July of 1863 means there is information that historians have yet to figure out. And, having Meade take on Lee, was bad judgement. Luckily for the North, things went well, but it well could not have been that way.
George McClellan was a major civil war general, initially heading the union forces. He made the first plan for the Union and raised a competent and well trained army. His details were meticulous but unfortunately, he fell victim to aggressive opponents and overestimated enemy strength. He also had issues allocating his forces properly. In addition to his role as general, McClellan was also a candidate for president in 1864.
Spain and France do not, in fact, share the Iberian Peninsula. Conventionally (and properly) understood, the Iberian Peninsula is shared by the nations of Spain and Portugal, with several smaller ethnic groups (Basques and Catalans, for example) laying claim to political independence in the same area.

Union General George B. McClellan wanted to conduct the US Civil War in his own fashion which he believed was the correct course to take to win the war. He faced many obstacles in order to accomplish such a difficult task. He was not trying to take over the government but to redirect what he believed was an obstacle to do this. His first sights were set on the easiest targets, namely ones that were in the military where he had the most influence. Blocking McClellan was General Winfield Scott. From August to the end of October, 1861, McClellan began a systematic campaign to undermine Scott. Due to Scott's age, the easiest way for McClellan to reduce Scott was to drive him into retirement. This was ashame in that Scott was responsible for having McClellan in Washington DC in the first place. Because he and Scott had constant contact over military affairs, McClellan began to spread rumors about Scott's physical ability to retain his position, and, spread rumors about his failing mental capacities. He helped undermine Scott by ignoring him and bypassing him in the military chain of command. And he weakened Scott by being rude and standoffish. Scott did finally resign and McClellan replaced him as general in chief, a powerful position if used properly. Although Lincoln never expressed concern that his general in chief was disloyal, he cautioned McClellan that his new primary duties might impair McClellan's ability to take on two significant jobs. One was the rebuilding of the Army of the Potomac, the other was carrying on the strategic command of all the Union armies. McClellan convinced Lincoln that he could handle both jobs. In his own mind he had already taken a strong dislike of his Commander in Chief.
It showed the North the folly of launching a campaign before the Army was properly equipped and trained.
The crucial battles on the Peninsula leading to Richmond required General Lee to place General AP Hill and his forces under the command of Stonewall Jackson. Hill resented having Jackson as his commander in that Jackson's unexplained failure to be in position to outflank McClellan at Mechanicsville caused the Confederates to use a failed frontal assault. No explanation for this from Stonewall Jackson gave pause to Hill's trust in Jackson's ability to lead properly.
Norway, Sweden, and Denmark are properly considered Scandinavia, although Finland (another Nordic country) is often included because it shares the upper Scandinavian Peninsula with Norway and Sweden.
