NOVEMBER 14, 1862:
President Lincoln believes that the Army of The
Potomac would be better used by splitting Robert E. Lee’s army and isolating
Stonewall Jackson from “Old Pete” Longstreet, but he gives his troubled approval
to General Burnside for the plan to strike at Fredericksburg. The Army of The Potomac, which had been
stalled by the recent blizzard, begins to move again.
