The failure of General George B. McClellan's Peninsula campaign unsettled many of Lincoln's supporters. In view of no immediate plans that matched the intended level of the campaign to take Richmond via the "peninsula, Lincoln needed to do something to regain some of the lost momentum. The result was General Orders 109. This action reiterated permission to seize property and supplies in Rebel states that could be used as war supplies. It went a bit further however, and did not please everyone. Seizing property allowed for such property to be returned. Lincoln raised the destructive level of the Union's intent to end the rebellion by allowing for the destruction of the aforementioned property. Lincoln also ordered the employment of Blacks as laborers, although, and an important although, to keep good records on this so that compensation to the slave owners might be made in the future.
