Between that army and the capital of the Confederate States of America, an outnumbered Confederate force did all in its feeble power to resist--but all it could do was slow, not stop, the juggernaut. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo Southerners, the war, not yet a year old, looked lost. The Confederate government prepared to evacuate the city. The citizenry prepared for the worst. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd then the war turned. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDuring battle at a place called Seven Pines, an artillery shell wounded Confederate commander Gen. Joseph E. Johnston. His replacement, Gen. Robert E. Lee, stabilized the army, fended off the Federals, and then fortified the capital. \"Richmond must not be given up!\" he vowed, tears in his eyes. \"It shall not be given up!\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFederal commander Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan, confident of success, found himself unexpectedly hammered by a newly aggressive, newly emboldened foe. For seven days, Lee planned ambitious attacks and launched them, one after another, hoping not just to drive Federals from the gates of Richmond but to obliterate them entirely. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn Richmond Shall Not Be Given Up, historian Doug Crenshaw follows a battle so desperate that, ever-after, soldiers would remember that week simply as The Seven Days. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMcClellan reeled. The tide of war turned.
