Battle of Kernstown Dear Mr. Spencer, Did you the following about the Battle of Kernstown? • • • • • • • • • Fought on March 23, 1862 The 1st battle of the 1862 Valley Campaign. The CSA was commanded by General Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson. The US was led by Colonel Nathan Kimball. The Union Army was able to stop the advancing Confederate forces. The Union Army’s counterattack forced Jackson’s army to retreat. There were 590 Union Casualties & 718 Confederate Casualties Despite the victory, President Lincoln was concerned with the threat Jackson’s forces posed to Washington D.C., so he redirected reinforcements to the Shenandoah Valley instead of sending them to McClellan, who was trying to capture Richmond by fighting his way up the Yorktown peninsula. McClellan claimed these additional troops would have helped him capture Richmond during his Peninsula Campaign. Take care and hope to see you soon. Sincerely, Charlie Brown Mr. Matthew Spencer Social Studies Teacher Lincoln Park Middle School 90 Ryerson Road Lincoln Park, NJ 07035 P.S. The present day location of the battlefield is Kernstown , which is in Frederick County, Virginia.
