Battle Summary:
Abraham Lincoln, and the citizens of the United States, were ready
for a change. After a terrible defeat, in front of Marye's Heights, at
the battle of Fredericksburg, the army was in disarray on the east bank of
the Rappahannock River. Being further demoralized, in mid-January
1863, while searching out CS General
Robert E. Lee's left flank, in what was
dubbed the "Mud March," the Army of the Potomac was a shadow of its former
self.
