	Peninsula Campaign - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Peninsula Campaign (also known as the Peninsular Campaign) of the American Civil War was a major Union operation launched in southeastern Virginia from March through July 1862, the first large-scale offensive in the Eastern Theater.
		Although they are formally considered part of the Peninsula Campaign, the final battles of June 25 to July 1, with Lee in command and on the offensive against McClellan, are popularly known as the Seven Days Battles, and are described in their own article.
		President Lincoln witnessed this part of the campaign, having arrived on the Peninsula on May 5, and exercising his direct powers as commander in chief by ordering naval bombardments of Confederate batteries in the area on May 8.

		The Peninsula Campaign was the unsuccessful attempt by McClellan to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond and end the war.
		Moving slowly and cautiously up the peninsula, McClellan fought a series of minor battles and sieges against Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, who was equally cautious in the defense of his capital, retreating step by step to within six miles of Richmond.

		McClellan's grand plan was to land an army at Yorktown, move up the Virginia peninsula toward Richmond, and fight a decisive battle somewhere near the Confederate capital, thereby ending the Civil War while it was still a rebellion instead of a revolution.

		Sears (as usual) does a great job of covering all the logistics and numbers surrounding the lengthy Peninsula campaign, and it's necessary since the campaign's principal source, George Brinton McClellan, was deluding himself throughout 1862.

		Grant's campaign, nicknamed Operation Crusher by historian T. Harry Williams, was a three-pronged attack converging on Richmond from the South, the North, and the East.
		That Grant's campaign only made the war seem worse to the general public was particularly upsetting to Lincoln, who in 1864 was seeking reelection but was unable to deliver anything to the public but the report of these bleak figures.
		Though the campaign was brutal, Grant managed to retain the initiative throughout and kept the formidable Lee scrambling to catch up to him every time he swung south.
