Let us say that Richmond falls to McClellan in the aftermath of Seven Pines. Maybe Johnston isn't wounded and he sticks to his characterization and retreats his troops from the city to find "a better spot".
Would the war drag on? Or would the Confederacy have surrendered then and there?
The reasons for me considering the possibility of a surrender include the fact that the war is still limited, with only a few large scale and bloody battles thus far. The Confederates could negotiate a conditional reunion (say, slavery is enshrined and protected in the constitution).
