AUGUST 16, 1862:
General
George McClellan completes the evacuation by sea of Harrison's Landing on the
Virginia Peninsula. His men land at Aquia Creek, Virginia and Alexandria,
Virginia, within a few days. Most are reassigned to John Pope's Army of
Virginia. This causes McClellan to plot for Pope’s downfall, which McClellan
manages, at the cost of hundreds of young soldiers’ lives.
