The American Civil War Mr. Contipodero

Near victory for the South September 1862 South on the offensive “Never before or afterward was the Confederacy so near to victory as it was in the middle of 1862” McClellan relieved General Halleck general in chief of all armies

General Halleck “His grasp of the theories of strategy was excellent, but at heart he was a shuffler of papers.” (Catton, pg. 86) What does this mean?

General Lee Divided his forces in VA to deal with Generals McClellan and Pope Together outnumbered Lee but far apart Stonewall Jackson to deal with Pope

2 nd Battle of Bull Run (Manassas) Jackson captured Union supplies at Manassas Junction Pope convinced his won the battle General Longstreet (CSA) joined Jackson’s troops Union was crushed Pope retreated to Centreville

Who Can Rise to the Challenge? Lincoln reinstated McClellan to command certain divisions Lee wanted PA and invasion of the North

Near Victory North was fighting a “defensive” war British were close to granting South Independence Trade worthy country

The Biggest Mistake! McClellan couldn’t find Lee Confederate officer lost a copy of Lee’s orders Divided confederate troops in multiple directions The copy got to McClellan’s headquarters Officer identified confederate handwriting McClellan met Lee in Sharpsburg, MD The Battle of Antietam
