In the peninsular campaign McClellan planned to sail the?
In the Peninsular Campaign, General George B. McClellan planned to sail the Union Army from Washington, D.C., to the Virginia Peninsula, aiming to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond. This strategy involved moving the troops via the Chesapeake Bay and up the York and James Rivers to establish a strong foothold. McClellan's cautious approach and delays ultimately allowed Confederate forces to strengthen their defenses, leading to a prolonged and costly campaign.
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.
