Army strategic, large-scale civil war and the beginning of the war =========== It is clear that military operations are rebuilt and done by professional army troops, not civic masses . The Union and the Federal Government believe that the main requirement of 1861 is to improve males as soon as possible. It received local and private volunteers to raise the unit that is cheaper than regular recruitment of military.

One of the most bloody fights in the Civil War (and one of the most important wars) was the battle of Antitam, which took place on 17th September 1862 near Sharpsburg, Maryland. This battle was the culmination of Robert Lee's Maryland campaign designed to bring war to the north. Lee's North Virginia army consists of about 40,000 men who recently went to Maryland after winning second bull run. When the 87,000 Potomac troops of Major General George B. McClellan were intercepting Lee, Allied soldiers found a wrong copy of the detailed combat plan of the Rihu on Sunday, September 14. This order indicates that everyone was quarantined and failed in detail as Li broke the army and was dispersed in a geographic location (Harpers Ferry in West Virginia and Hagerstown in Maryland).

Of course, Jackson died on May 10, creating a vacancy will never be satisfied. Finally, Lee's victory at Chancellors, he believed his army was invincible. He persuaded the government to support his proposal in Richmond Attack Pennsylvania.
