Battle of Fredericksburg Burnside marches his 122,000 men to Richmond, VA to get Lee. Lee puts his 79,000 troops up on a ridge overlooking the city. It started on 12/13/1862…Burnside just kept sending his troops at Lee. In the end…Union (13,000) and Confederates (5,000) overall casualties. Burnside asked to be relieved! CONFEDERATE VICTORY

General Burnside

Battle of Fredericksburg

Battle of Chancellorsville Fighting Joe Hooker replaced Burnside. 04/1863, he left a 1/3 of his troops at Fredericksburg and used the rest to come around the back of Lee. Lee sent 40,000 to deal with Hooker and left 10,000 to remain at Fredericksburg (lots of fires). It started on 05/01/1863, Hooker went into the woods, waited, Lee sent Jackson (26K) to flank the right…rabbits and deers..oh my! Jackson will be accidentally shot and Hooker will retreat back across the river. CONFEDERATE VICTORY

Battle of Gettysburg Late June, 1863 Lee heads north to Pennsylvania to get more supplies. He knows that one big win in the north could end the war. It turns out to be his last advance into the north- the turning point of the war… July 1 st : Troops (both sides) showed up and headed to the hills…stretching 4 miles. General Meade is in command of the Union. Cemetery Ridge was in the middle of the Northern line and Seminary Ridge was in the middle of the Southern line…between the two was a large field, several hundred yards long. July 2 nd : Longstreet didn’t get going till 4:00 p.m. giving Meade time for reinforcements. South tried taking the hill but were forced to retreat.

Battle of Gettysburg (Cont.) July 3 rd : It started with an artillery barrage by both sides. Then 15,000 Confederate troops (mile long, 3 rows) moved towards Cemetery Ridge…Pickett’s Charge! Only a few hundred made it to the line. It was all over in 30 minutes with a Confederate retreat back to their hill. This was the bloodiest battle of the Civil War…Union (23,000) and the Confederates (28,000). The Confederates made their retreat back to Virginia the very next day. UNION VICTORY
