Day 46: Fighting Time? March 20, 1861

Many things have been picking up, ever since Nelson said that they are being moved to Tennessee. That means something is going on, I hope not another battle. Oh no! not another battle....if they're being recruited there then that means.....they will be fighting! Oh no! Oh no! so many thoughts just went through my head. No, that nightmare is gonna come true, not this cant be happening! Im gonna be worried at all times till they come home, ah! Poppa came in this morning and told me that President Lincoln-- impatient with General McClellan's inactivity -- issued an order reorganizing the Army of Virginia and relieving McClellan of supreme command. McClellan was given command of the Army of the Potomac, and ordered to attack Richmond. This marked the beginning of the Peninsular Campaign. General ended up losing his command. There was a little battle, but no one got hurt or anything so everything was ok. I hope everything turns out all right and that President Lincoln replaces him quick.
