The Peninsula Campaign was a significant military operation during the American Civil War, taking place from March to July 1862. Led by Union General George B. McClellan, the campaign aimed to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia, by advancing up the Virginia Peninsula between the York and James Rivers. Despite initial successes, the campaign ultimately resulted in a Confederate victory, with General Robert E. Lee's forces successfully halting McClellan's advance during the Seven Days Battles. This outcome led to a prolonged stalemate in the Eastern Theater of the war.

What were General George B McClellan's complaints as the Peninsula campaign began to unfold in 1862?

General McClellan believed he had good reasons for his ideas that Washington DC was set about to damage his plans for the Peninsula campaign. He resented his battle plans being questioned, having his army reorganized against his will, and to read in newspapers about his removal from the general in chief title he had. From that point on, he began his campaign of blaming Washington DC for his failures in the Peninsula campaign.
