What did Union General George B McClellan believe was the best way to protect Washington DC from a Confederate assault?
Union General George B. McClellan, along with many other Union generals, believed the best way to defend Washington DC, would be to assault Richmond, the Confederate capital. Their thinking was that if Confederate General Robert E. Lee had been compelled to fight for the safety of Richmond, he would have been forced to concentrate the main part of his army around that city. Now Lee would still have the ability to launch a raid down the Shenandoah Valley, if the valley was improperly protected by Union forces, this would only require a small segment of his army. It would not constitute a decisive threat to Washington DC. With the Union attacking, rather then withdrawing, this would have forced Lee to fight which to many was the best path to a Union end to the rebellion.
