|
By the middle of 1862, the
Southern Confederacy teetered on the brink of disaster on all

Defeat after demoralizing defeat
plagued Southern forces in the west.
At the same time in the eastern
theater, General George B. McClellan's Federal Army of the Potomac arrived
at the outskirts of Richmond after a slow but steady 50-mile march up the
rugged Virginia peninsula.
On 31 May, the Confederate army,
under the command of General Joseph E. Johnston, turned and attacked

Chickahominy River. After initial success, the Confederate attack was
blunted and both sides returned to their lines. Perhaps the most
significant result of the battle was the wounding of Johnston and the
elevation of Robert E. Lee to the command of the Army of Northern
Virginia.

The
goal of the upcoming offensive is none other than the complete destruction
of the Army of the Potomac. On the Union side, General McClellan is
planning an attack south of the Chickahominy on the 25th at a place called
Oak Grove. The famed "Seven Days" is about to begin…
