In the summer of 1862, two great armies met outside of Richmond in
a series of battles that would determine the course of the Civil
War. The Union had time, men and materiel on its side, while the
Confederates had mobility, esprit de corps and aggressive
leadership. Untried General Robert E. Lee was tasked with driving
the Yankees from their almost impregnable positions to save
Richmond and end the war. Lee planned to isolate part of the Union
Army, crush it, and then destroy the only supply base the remaining
Federals had. To do so, he had to move thousands of troops hundreds
of miles, bringing multiple forces together with intricate timing,
all without the Yankees or their spies finding out. The largest and
most important of these battles occurred at Gaines' Mill.
