Part B: Short Answer: Instructions: Answer the questions below.
1. Explain the circumstances of the battles of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Antietam. Explain if these
battles were victories or defeats for the South and for the North.
The South found victories at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. However, Thomas
“Stonewall” Jackson died at Chancellorsville. The North though won at the Battle of Antietam
and the moment began to shift away from the South to the North.
2. Why did Robert E. Lee decide to invade the Union and go on the offensive against the North at Gettysburg?
Robert E. Lee invaded the Union because his supplies were low. This was a change from a primarily
defensive strategy to an aggressive offensive strategy. Lee radically needed supplies and the
Anaconda Plan was blocking his supplies. Invading the North was a desperate attempt to gather
supplies to continue the war.
