“You’d like to see that, wouldn’t you, Piter?” the Baron asked. “You’d enjoy seeing the Corps of Sardaukar pillage through my cities and sack this castle. You’d truly enjoy that.”

On March 8, Lincoln issued “General War Order No. 2,” stipulating that the Army of the Potomac’s dozen divisions be organized into four army corps, to be commanded by three of the dissenting generals plus Erastus Keyes, who had supported the Urbanna plan only if the enemy were first cleared from the banks of the Potomac. (For three months Lincoln had been urged to undertake this reorganization, because it was feared that the army’s cumbersome structure made its defeat inevitable.) The next morning, the president reconvened the war council to announce his approval of the Urbanna scheme and urge all the generals “to go in heartily” for it. To a resentful McClellan, Lincoln later explained his reasons for establishing the corps system. He had taken that step “not only on the unanimous opinion of the twelve Generals of Division, but also on the unanimous opinion of every military man I could get an opinion from, and every modern military book, yourself only excepted. Of course, I did not, on my own judgment pretend to understand the subject.”
