CIVIL WAR - Week of June 5, 1862 - Wrap up of National Front, Local KILLED & WOUNDED & Silver Grays

Confederates scrambled to stop the Federal push on Richmond. More key southern points were threatened or captured, New Orleans came under Federal military occupation, and a new Homestead law was enacted in the North. A glimmer of hope for the Confederacy was in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, where Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson fought off three Federal armies and threatened Washington.

Benjamin F. Butler arrives with his Federal troops to impose military rule over New Orleans. Henry W. Halleck is finally ready to lead his Federal “Grand Army” against the vital railroad center of Corinth, Mississippi.

As George B. McClellan prepares to bombard Confederates at Yorktown, Joseph E. Johnston begins planning a retreat. Federal troops retaliate against Confederate attacks in northern Alabama by committing various atrocities against civilians. Incidents such as these indicate the beginning of a new and more brutal phase of the war.

The Federal Army of the Potomac enters the abandoned enemy works at Yorktown. Some hail this as a great victory while others note that the Confederate army had escaped intact. “Stonewall” Jackson’s Confederates move east to join forces with another Confederate army and confront a detachment of John C. Fremont’s Federals in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley.

As Joseph E. Johnston’s Confederates fall back to the Chickahominy River, George B. McClellan continues complaining to the Lincoln administration about lack of adequate support. Abraham Lincoln personally directs an operation that results in capturing one of the Confederacy’s most important naval bases.

Confederates are forced to destroy their fearsome ironclad to prevent capture. This paves the way for Federals to advance up the James River to threaten Richmond. Panic begins spreading throughout the Confederate capital of Richmond as George B. McClellan’s Federal army is now just 22 miles away and still advancing up the Virginia Peninsula.

Confederates win a tremendous victory to gain control of most of Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley and make the name “Stonewall” a legend in the South.
