so they hope that that victory is going to occur in northern virginia, under the command, general john poe, he's commanding the army of virginia. and lincoln essentially gives him, the army of the potomac. they never relieve mcclellan of command. they detach the entire and send it to poe. and pope, we know gets defeated soundly defeated at the second battle of manassas. and a union army retreats into the fortifications of washington in tremendous disorder. the troops are disorganized. they're they're really discouraged, and they are furious at pope pope's time. you can't have a pope anymore. so lincoln comes to a very decision. he calls cabinet meeting on september the second and he tells his cabinet that he is placing george mcclellan in command of all the forces within, the fortifications. he's very specific about. he is not the commander of the troops that will put in the field commander of in the fortification, because we haven't decided what we're going to with mcclellan yet. now gideon wells, who you see in the lower, says there was a more disturbed and despond ing feeling than i

so they hope that victory is going to occur in northern virginia, under the command of general john pope. he's commanded the army of virginia, and lincoln essentially gives him the army of the -- and they never really from a colon of command, but they detached the entire army from the pope. when pope gets defeated -- in the union army -- within the fortifications. because we have not decided what we are going to do with--. yet you can see in the lower right there was a more disturbed feeling than i have ever witnessed in council. one of, that was to spawn, it was edward stanton to the left. the secretary of war. he was trembling with rage, he despise mccall and so much. someone allegedly said he would favor the capture of washington, to return to command. whether he really said that or not i don't know. but he hated him. so they are not happy with lincoln's decision. we thought were gonna get rid of mark hollen. but things are going to get even worse. because it appears that the confederate army may possibly move into maryland. and in order to set the macallan on september the 3rd, sayin

potomac will go through northern virginia and come up in the caption allowed in heights. on the south side of the harper ferry, on the virginia side can commanding harpers ferry. capturing those key positions, with jackson sealing off the, west they should be able to destroy our caption the union garrison harper's. very once that garrison is captured, all the troops will march up to -- sound with the other big red dock, were you will concentrate his army. but nobody is going to cater stand initially. when they began to execute the order on september the 10th, lee, however, had learned through some of his spies or somewhere that there was union militia approaching hegar's town from nnlvania. and that the people in s town were taking their food supply. he knew eud back. so we modify that plan march and take long s command up to hackers town, and leaves -- division. you can see he has really taken a gamble. they're his army is divided up the mountain by rivers. and they're really widely dispersed. hagerstown, boonesborough, down to harpers ferry, maryland on north of the poto

they fought a battle against the army of northern virginia and their advancing. it was a hard battle casualties were high. i was i'm very unpleasant experience, but we won this battle. we're advancing now. how do you decide who wins the battle soldiers by the way, they're cheering here. i don't know if you can see they're waving their hats and cheering there was quite a cheer a grant was eager to get them to be quiet because we don't want lee to know where we're moving any place. how do you know who won a battle is it is the side that one the side that suffers fewer casualties you know, we haven't gotten to world war two yet, but if the side that takes the fewest casualties is the winner. then irwin rommel won d-day. right and the united states lost and currently bradley was thrown back into the sea and we'd all be speaking german today. well known not exactly but no that it's not how you figure out who wanted that it's who gets more of what he wants of the situation that he wants afterwards and the person who gets what he wants after the battle is grant. he's co

they are going to lose northern virginia and most of the state with it. this is a very sensitive target. grant is poking at it with a smaller army. it could be, grant is entirely open to the possibility, that while he is up here in northern virginia directly supervising the army of the potomac, these guys will win the war! and they might have. he hopes that by stretching lee in all of these directions he will be able to get an advantage over him. that leads to another problem though. another thing that grant will have to deal with. he has good things going for him, and then there are some things going against him. going against grant is this is 1864! this is an election year. there is going to be a presidential election. lincoln is up for reelection. now they were actually some republicans who said or suggested to lincoln we ought to postpone the elections we should not be holding this election in the midst of the civil war we have the huge war going on! the major faction of the democratic party at this time believes that war is a failure. they've been sa

but still, lee would order robert hoke's division, which had been loaned to the army of northern virginia by beauregard's army prior to cole harbor, to move to the pontoon bridge of the confederates at chapman's blacks. just in case those federals appeared on the south side of the river. by june 14th, as grant arranged his petersburg offensive, beauregard speculated about the location and intentions of their enemy. lee responded to an inquiry from president davis early that afternoon by speculating, quote, i think the enemy must be preparing to move south of the james. of course, lead news that some federals had moved self, and another large body had boarded boats at the landing. this could mean that grant was changing his base to harrison's landing, just like mcclellan did two years earlier. he could be re-supplied for another movement against richmond south of the river, north of the river, rather. all of those federals boarding boats might be some of these regiments that had their terms of enlistment expire and were heading home thousands were doing that. we meanwhile, smic 18th corps

the army of northern virginia is reduced to maybe 30, 000, 35,000 infantry. consequently, lee is a potent defensive force. he is not an offensive force. he is a counter puncher he is not going to be able to exercise any offensive movements on his own. he cannot change the calculus of the war in virginia like he had done earlier in the campaign. if the morale of the confederate soldier seems very high, i have not seen any evidence for deteriorating morale any kind of a significant percentage in the common soldier of the army of northern virginia. they still believed in lay. as far as they are concerned, they had kick some yankee but between the james river. they were doing pretty well. richmond was still in their hands. you read all types of quotes, keep them coming. we are going to kill them all. i will be home by the fall. their morale was still very high at this point. to your point about the elon of the army of the potomac. a lot of those veteran regiments were replaced by agreeing units from the defenses of washington who had spent their military experien

no one knew whether the army in northern virginia. would mount another invasion of the united states. neither. could they know that abraham lincoln would go to gettysburg and deliver. what would eventually become the most famous political speech in our history did not at the time but it did in time the vast outpouring of writings on the battle remain to be written as did the battlefields development as a major attraction for people interested in american history. i think a fair assessment of gettysburg's impact in the summer and early autumn of 1863. is that both sides sought as a bloody but not ultimately decisive battle that represented largely good news for the united states and bad news for the confederacy. it's not nearly as important at the time as vicksburg vicksburg far overshadowed gettysburg in terms of its impact both in the united states and the confederacy now admittedly many people in the loyal states rejoiced upon first hearing about lee's retreat, of course, they did it seemed as the noted new york dire as george templ

would need an grant succeeded overwhelming beauregard's exhausted men before the army of northern virginia arrive? kershaw's division began its march to petersburg at 3:00 in the morning in a few hours later hill's men started tramping across the pontoon bridges at schaefer's bluff oilfields brigade left their trenches and followed and kershaw's footsteps. union forces were also on a move that morning reacting to these nighttime orders to convince support needed to advance. for course the 18th of seven benefit from north to south lurched forward prepared to engage in some places they met little resistance but most of the would-be attackers uncovered the abandon lines of the subsix line. lee told his corps commander to prepare a new attack on the harris line. the 18th and second core press forward but soon discovered that the rebel works on their front were well purported -- well-prepared and adequately manned in there'll efforts came to not. further south "the fifth quarter" never dance at all and they were stymied by a of line protection and profess that they had never received a mandator

virginia into the confederacy. but was he? although robert e. lee was born on the northern neck of virginia in 1807, he had grown up in alexandria, which was then part of the district of columbia. alexandria and northern virginia would only be retroceded to the commonwealth of virginia long after lee had left, in the 18 thirties. -- in georgia, st. louis, baltimore, and new york city. whose father, harry, had been, politically, a federalist do. and himself a -- politically. the lee married into one of the most foremost families of virginia, of arlington, arlington overlooked the potomac, facing the national capital, not virginia. and his custus in laws valorize the nation first and stake loyalty afterwards. but he could not ignore, in 1861, two factors. first, whitehorse hurriedly, for all his revolutionary fame, had been a hard luck husband and father. and left his family do. he left when robert was only six years old. the shadow that whitehorse harry cast over the lee name was one of robert's struggles to redeem. hence, that broad streak of perfectionism in his behavior.

general who commanded the confederate army in northern virginia. >> host: allen guelzo let's begin with your latest book, robert e lee a life, who was he before the civil war, what was his reputation? >> guest: he was best known for two things, son of a famous revolutionary war hero and that was the famed cavalry commander light horse harry lee, the one who served under washington and in fact, coined washington, first in war, first in peace, that was light horse harry. the other thing that people would have known robert e lee for would have been his service in the mexican war and especially on the staff of general scott during scott's fabulous invasion. moving in land to mexico city in 1847. lee served in many respects as scott's eyes and ears performing over and over again feats for scott so much so that scott made the confession that for all the honors he had won in that great campaign to mexico city almost all the credit really belonged to robert e lee, so lee's two thing would have been robert e lee would have been noted before the civil war which taken together don't really do a wh

but when the army of northern virginia comes into pennsylvania in the summer of 1863, every record onthe ground shows that the confederate army basically helped themselves to anything that wasn't nailed down. they behaved just like the yankees did come which is a sake and they behaved like most 19th-century armies did. what gave this a particular edge was that the confederates wound up something like 500 free pennsylvania blacks -- rounded -- shackle them and sent them down to the slave markets to be sold in slavery. that was a different kind of repossession, shall we say. and that i think caused serious doubt the sole question, we behaved honorably. there is not a whole lot of honor in capturing defenseless and innocent people and enslaving them. but let me take this back even to the whole question of general orders number nine and lee's involvement in it. lee himself does not actually draft general orders number nine. it's really composed by lee's military secretary charles marshall. we might've been a great letter writer when it came to personal correspondence by he detested offici

similarly, no wonder whether the army of northern virginia would mount another invasion of the united states. neither could they know that abraham lincoln would go to gettysburg and deliver what would eventually become the most famous political speech in our history. not at the time, but in time. the vast outpouring of writings on the battle to be written, as did the battlefields development as a major attraction for people interested in american history. i think affairs has been of gettysburg impact in the summer and early autumn of 1863 was up both sides of a bloody but not ultimately decisive battle, that represented largely good news for the united states and bad news for the confederacy. not nearly important at the time as vicksburg. vicksburg far and shadowed gettysburg, in terms of its impact both the united states and the confederacy. admittedly, many people in the loyal states rejoiced upon first hearing about leaves retreat. of course they did! it seemed, as the noted new york diarist george temple turned strong observed on july six, 63. that, quote, the rebels are headed ou
