June 23, 1862---Lee's Council of War



JUNE 23, 1862:           

Robert E. Lee holds a meeting of all his senior generals at his headquarters at Dabb’s House just north of Richmond. It is decided that McClellan is too close to Richmond; and although the Union general has shown no propensity to attack the city, a sudden move could spell disaster for the capital of the Confederacy. The consensus: Attack McClellan.
