Peninsula Campaign

Miller, whose focus on Federal engineers demonstrates how they overcame problems of terrain along the swampy Chickahominy River valley. Their successes undercut McClellan's claims that difficult ground constrained him. Rather, Miller cogently contends, McClellan's problems arose from his own failure to recognize and exploit opportunities.

Confederate commanders, too, come in for criticism. Carmichael assesses John B. Magruder and perceptively points out how that general's bad example in front of soldiers made his failures in the Seven Days Battles far worse, in R. Lee's eyes, than the more short-lived shortcomings of James Longstreet and Thomas J.

Lee knew, writes Carmichael, that "officers could not gain the confidence of their troops without a calm demeanor and the look of self-assurance. Jackson and Longstreet possessed that essential element of leadership, but Magruder did not" Jackson's generalship—or lack thereof—during the Seven Days is explored by Robert K. His renowned—and rightful—regard for Jackson in general makes his critique of "Stonewall" in this particular campaign all the more compelling.

The impact of the campaign on the home front is analyzed in the essays by James Marten and William A. Marten explores the impact of the operations on the attitudes, morale, and even loyalty of civilians and slaves in southeastern Virginia. Blair argues that the very failure of the Union conservative strategy on the Peninsula made more credible the Radicals' efforts to promote a more ruthless prosecution of the war, including emancipation.
