Much has been made of the Peninsula Campaign, Second Manassas, and Antietam, with an emphasis on battlefield tactics, overall strategy, and leadership command. A failure occurred in the attempt to take Richmond, and the counter-stroke by the rebels put the Federal forces back into Maryland. Instead of blaming any fault with General McClellan for these failures, I would prefer to hear a reasoned opinion on Lincoln's ploy of political strength in overruling Army Doctrine and Discipline. Why was the military strategy subverted and what caused it? Thank you.
