The commander of the Unions Army of the Potomac at Antietam was Major General George B. McClellan.
The Union began the Peninsular Campaign in March 1862. General-in-Chief McClellan moved his Army of the Potomac from Washington down the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay to the peninsula south of the Confederate Capital of Richmond, Virginia, before advancing toward Richmond. McClellan planned a giant amphibious operation to capture Yorktown before moving on Richmond from the south. However, the Confederate Merrimack blocked the water route up the James River to Richmond, so McClellan decided to advance up the peninsula between the York and James rivers. By early April 1862 McClellan's forces had been transported by sea to the south end of the peninsula and were ready to take Yorktown. The Confederates had fewer troops than the North so they needed a diversion to keep the Union soldiers from taking Richmond. to capture Richmond, Virgina

The situation early in the US Civil War in western Virginia did not involve any direct contact between generals Lee and McClellan.This changed in 1862, during the Peninsula Campaign. Union General George B. McClellan learned that Union prisoners at Confederate POW hospitals were suffering in that the Confederates lacked the proper medicines needed to treat wounded Union troops. There was an exchange of letters between generals Lee and McClellan, where the latter general informed Lee that he would be happy to send to the Confederates any medical supplies required to treat prisoners. Lee replied by letter that he thanked McClellan for the kindness, however, Lee had all the medical supplies required to treat all wounded soldiers, both his and the Unions. The letters were polite and proper.
