Confederate Strategy Conference - May 1863

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

Script error: No such module "AfC submission catcheck".Following Robert E. Lee's decisive victory in the Battle of Chancellorsville, Confederate President Jefferson Davis called a high level strategy conference to discuss next steps for Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. Despite the victory, the Southern Armies were almost everywhere on the defensive, including in Mississippi where the city of Vicksburg and control of the Mississippi River was threatened by Northern General U.S. Grant. This conference in Richmond, VA on May 15-17th debated military strategy and twice approved General Lee's subsequent second invasion of the North which culminated in the Battle of Gettysburg.
