Lee's rapid advance across the Peninusla dramatised the Confederates' natural soldierly skills and leadership, in stark contrast to McClellan's lacklustre performance as the Union commander, and encouraged other countries to consider backing a winner in the Confederacy.

Why was battle of Yorktown called the peninsular campaign?
Yorktown is located on the northern shore of a Virginia peninsula extending into Chesapeake Bay, bounded by the York River on the north and the James River on the south. These are wide tidal rivers at this point.However I have never heard the Revolutionary War Battle of Yorktown called "the peninsular campaign". There was a campaign during the American Civil War on this same peninsula in 1862 which IS called the Peninsular Campaign, involving Union and Confederate forces. This involved the effort of Federal troops under McClellan to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond by approaching from the east, after landing at the tip of the Peninsula. The initial Confederate defense line the Federal troops encountered was in the vicinity of Yorktown, and some of the trenches from eighty years before were occupied again.
