they were north of the potomac, south of the potomac, and jackson is west of harpers ferry. that is the big risk and big plan he draws a. -- up. when the confederates execute, the union army is marketing -- marching across virginia. theeptember the 13th, potomac closes up on frederick and occupies the town. some of the troops arrive south of the town which include the 27th indiana. they march into a field and stack arms. as they do, they see an envelope on the ground. there is three cigars in it and a piece of paper wrapped around it. this is pretty weird. i do not think the army of northern virginia issued orders from army headquarters in envelopes wrapped around cigars. it is very strange. be that as it may, they find a piece of paper and it was the orders from army headquarters to dh hill. everyone points fingers on who lost this thing, but i do not think this entire affair reflects well on the way they did business at the army of northern virginia headquarters. they should have known the order, there should have been a receipt that came back the dhl received and sign for

then he will retreat and across the potomac river. they will cross the potomac river on september 20 and with a the fifth arm corps. lee will counterattack of rously and the battle shepherdstown will occur a union maryland campaign 20.es to an end september two days later, remember politics? it rears its head. later lincoln issues the emancipation proclamation. s burt mentioned antietam the battle may be a drawn battle but trategically it was a union victory clearly. lee did not achieve his goals did.his plans and mcclellan he got them out of the state of maryland. losses. ted leaf -- leaf losses. losses. lincoln issues the emancipation proclamation. when i have read about the emancipation proclamation people write about the army of potomac and reaction to it is as if the writers seek out who thought it was a terrible idea and it was going to be the end of the world and all of those. but anybody who thought it was a ood idea i won't better mentioning those people. one of people who thought it was was the commander of the army george m

look at the arming of the potomac and the aftermath. the better of chancellorsville in 1863, and you read through so many union soldiers letters in the aftermath and they talk ,bout how they have lost faith as you mentioned in the higher echelon of command. especially in the army of the potomac. yet, they never lost faith in themselves. that carried forward to gettysburg and beyond. those soldiers were able to stick to it despite these commanders above them they viewed in some cases with discussed. disgust. strong asan army is a its strongest link, as weak as its weakest link. the individual soldier make setup. they are the ones when push comes to shove that aside if it is time to leave or stay. >> let me follow up on that question and ask you, can you think of a decision made at the divisional level or company level made by one of those lower officers that was a pivotal decision? or maybe a civilian who made a decision that turned out to be pivotal? actually, chris was talking about during the awards ceremony how the soldiers themselve

the first score of the army of the potomac -- the first corp of the potomac was in the middle. this work requires hard of fighting because the enemy will throw everything it has at you. it was wrote that the advance force must contain groups of all arms and its strength proportion to that of the main forth with consideration given the more or less resistance of an independent character it may be required to make. so whatever we will require him to resist an enemy attack, we have to make sure he has enough people and equipment and ordinance to do that. then they said, and this is true of both, that if you move a force anywhere from five miles ahead to 20 miles ahead is appropriate. the farther you go ahead am a longer it will take the enemy to fight its way back to the main lines of your army. gettysburg is 10 miles ahead -- 14 miles ahead of meade's headquarters. he says that the task of the troops is to observe the enemy and slow down its advance. not even the first of the tasks would be served by a small detachment, partly because it would be more easily driven back than a la

when he arrived with the army of the potomac in virginia in 1864, he inherited the army of the potomac's bureau of military information. andted by general joseph headed by a balding new york lawyer, cornel george sharp. he is a very nondescript guy. he put together an amazing unit. the 1864, the bmi was proficient, and had 200 operatives. they had become the first all source intelligence service in the war and in u.s. military history. they collected intelligence from every source, signals, telegraphs, from captured mail, newspapers, spies, everywhere. collated them and analyzed and corroborated them and produced what would be called an intelligence briefing. these were amazing. they are usually short. they are telling because the .nalysis that is done they get to grant and he can easily look at this and think, this is not going to happen. achy from options. this was done on a daily basis. they got three intelligence reports a week after 1864 through the end of the war. they were very seasons. bmi capabilities did not reach .heir fullest power grant goss into his campaign against richmon

it will have a long-lasting impact on the culture of the army of the potomac. every organization has a culture and that is the culture that is going to grow in the high command in the army of the potomac. the joint committee on the conduct of war is extremely important in influencing that from an early stage. the next key moment or turning point that i have for you, is shiloh. >> shiloh was a massive two-day battle. the largest battle fought up to that point in the war. it would produce more casualties in today's been all of american history after that point. think about that. impact was just staggering. the number of killed and wounded, the total number of casualties. so what we are going to have as a result of shiloh is what i call the "slow death of the one battle syndrome." the mentality that one big war.e would end the commanders like grant and sherman are going to see that one big battle is not going to do it. ,hat the war is going to go on it will take large armies and many more large battles and a determined effort to conquer and win the war. i think bo

i think that is the big turning point in regard to the army of the potomac. chris: you say john reynolds was a competent commander? he was a great division commander. think -- paige, what do you think? have said time and time again, i don't classify myself as a military historian. i can't tell you who was where at many points in time, but when you think about gettysburg, there are a lot of different turning points. the reason i am on this panel is because drew and i were discussing this earlier, what do you classify as a turning point? there are a lot of social turning points, turning points in terms of gender and medical history and women's studies and looking at gettysburg and the sheer amount of casualties and the fact that you have a national cemetery founded over the war that link it -- that lincoln dedicated is a turning point. to my knowledge, the had not happened previously in the war. drew, last but not least. up but will back paige go further into the weeds. i have heard people argue whether the antietam. is march of the -- whether the antietam peri

[laughter] miss guy will get it back there. george meade, i think he is exhausted. he is just trying to shoot those old rebs across the river. but he has an opportunity to win the war right here. should he attack. if there's one thing i try to put in a little caveat, something you can learn i want , to tell you this little story, some of you know it and some of you don't. in the aftermath of the campaign at gettysburg, lincoln was furious. why? because he was writing george meade and saying destroy them, end the war right here. when lincoln finds out that meade has allowed lee to escape, he writes in a letter and he is furious. when lincoln was assassinated, that letter is found in his desk. lincoln wrot
