Answer 1

Look - there never was a 'war of northern agression'. What made the Peninsula Campaign so important was Major-General George B. McClellan's attempt to (in his own words) "save the country." Read it in the first person by someone who was there and who was in a position to know the importance.

Answer 2

The 7 Days Battle took place during the Peninsula campaign of 1862. It was the last and best chance for the Union to finish the war quickly. The plan was achievable, there were enough troops and supplies available, transportation difficulties existed but could be overcome, and Gen Johnston had been wounded.

Had Gen McLellan possessed as much military skill as he did administrative acumen, he would have been in Richmond inside of 6 weeks. Instead he squandered every opportunity that was handed him to capitalize on his victories (The Army of the Potomac won all but 1 of the battles) and the campaign ended a dismal failure. It guaranteed that the war would drag on instead of ending it then and there.

People who admire McLellan fail to realize, as he also failed to realize, that you can have the best army in the world-- the best-trained, best-paid, best-equipped, etc etc--but once your enemy realizes that you are afraid to use it, you might as well have no army at all.

Answer 3

america lost more soldiers at gettysburg than in all other wars combined up to vietnam.

think about that for a moment.

gettysburg was also the high watermark of the confederacy - as far north as they were ever to attack.

after gettysburg, the south knew that they could never actually beat the north, and only hope for a draw.

when robert e. lee was on his deathbed, he returned to gettysburg and started to talk about pickets charge - a tactically insane move - but had it worked, the south may have won the war.

lee was to die while remembering watching these brave men go to their deaths to sacrifice for a cause that was never to be realized...

Answer 4

Look,the northern position in the entire Great War of Northern Aggression can be simplified down to two goals......take Richmond and defeat Lee...every single thing they did was aimed at one of those two aims.....the 7 days battle was a manuver to get an Army at Richmond...it didnt work......the blockades at the Atlantic and Gulf ports,the Vicksburg seige,all these were attempts to cut Lees supplies...Gettysburg and Antitem.....Counterpunches to Lees movements....and yes....the so-called "civil war" was nothing more than a "Great War of Northern Aggression"...an attempt by force to change the balance of power in the senate.
