McClellan's plan was to move his army down the Potomac River and across the Chesapeake Bay, rather then march directly towards Richmond, VA. He wanted to attack the capital of the Confederacy were he felt that the defenses would be weaker. McClellan never seemed to be ready and Lincoln was getting fed up. Lincoln said "How long will it take you to actually get in motion?" When they finally attacked, the Confederate's were weak. McClellan decided to delay attacks and ask President Lincoln for more troops. He refused because he was afraid that Stonewall Jackson would cause trouble and the troops would be needed in Washington.
