After General McClellan had persuaded President Lincoln to agree to McClellan's Peninsula campaign, he began shipping troops of the Army of the Potomac to Fort Monroe in April of 1862. By April 3, 1862, President Lincoln was deeply concerned that McClellan had planned on leaving less than 20,000 troops to defend Washington DC as his forces began to occupy Fort Monroe. Lincoln refused to let the Corps led by General McDowell to join the rest of the Army of the Potomac at Fort Monroe. Lincoln ordered McDowell to stay near Washington DC as a defensive measure. This began what would be an ongoing dispute between McClellan and President Lincoln and Secretary of War Stanton regarding the troop levels McClellan wanted for his campaign to take the Rebel capital of Richmond.
