General McClellan’s Army of the Potomac tried to capture the Confederate capital, Richmond through the Peninsula Campaign.

Option A

Explanation:

General George McClellan, the commander of the army of the Union had a not so clear plan of capturing the Confederate capital. In his attempt to do that, his troops successfully crossed the James River without much reluctance. Once they crossed it, they fought a small battle with a troop of the Confederate army and won.

The Union army troops were surprised by the minor resistance of the Confederate army. But soon after they won their first battle after crossing River James, they had to face a massive surprise attack from the troops led by General Johnston. At last, General McClellan lost this battle after heavy casualties on his side.
