War in the Eastern States

Mississippi River, The Union was trying to capture the
Confederate capital at Richmond Virginia, close to the Union.
Why would each side want control of the Mississippi River?
What did it have to offer?

Early Confederate Victories
Southern victories in the East were largely the result of the
leadership of Robert E. Lee and “Stonewall” Jackson.
The two generals knew the terrain and could move forces
quickly
Lee and Jackson were also experts in inspiring troops,
which lead Confederate forces to defeat much larger
Union forces.
In 1862, Confederate forces enjoyed a string of impressive
victories in Virginia, each over a different Union general.
Supporting examples:
1. Confederates turned back General George B.
McClellan at the Seven Days Battle.
2. Defeated General John Pope at the Second Battle of
Bull Run
3. Defeated General Ambrose Burnside at
Fredericksburg.
4. In May 1863, Lee’s army defeated a Union force twice
its size
Interpret the following quote by President Lincoln
“My God, my god”, Lincoln said when he learned of the
defeat, “What will the country say!?”
