Washington Defenses and McDowell Withdrawal Debate

The article argues Washington was not in danger on April 2 1862 and challenges claims that McDowell's corps was withdrawn to shield the capital. It cites artillery and infantry dispositions at forts south of the Potomac, questions Wadsworth Halleck and Stanton, and accuses supporters of diverting McDowell to justify political aims.
