, wouldy bringing him out or should jackson remain with the strategy that has already been set after he cut set railroad line? as historian noted, with dr. noted eithertorian -- he was not to get ated in serious fighting manassas or roast jackson violated the spirit of reconstruction. the former is more likely the may havelay -- lee miscalculated before he arrived on the scene. perhaps he under smith's tomato overestimated his own ability to join jackson with the rest of the confederate army in a timely fashion. 25 following the meeting with lee, jackson would spend the remainder of august 24 preparing for those objectives to cut the federal communication and supply line. jackson and his command movements during the next few days were an example of control and execution of army logistics. his foot calvary had covered 25 miles with 23,000 men in just 14 hours of his march. the next day he covered the same distance in 14 hours again and reached bristow station on the railroad by sunset. folks reared in the railroad line behind it had been cut. but now what? historian harsh he said in the

is a very understandable calculus on their part. both armies, wouldi would arguee wrecked themselves by mid-june 1964 and neither army could perform as well. from a larger perspective, that achieves a great deal for the union because what had robert e. lee been able to do in past years. reverse the flow of the events to a daring counter attack. lee has no cards to play. he tries, but too early. that is the best he can do. it is a feeble rep rise of what happens in 1862. grant has nullified lee. he couldn't have done that without meade. and the relentless war that they waged. pinning lee took the confederacy greatest mi greatest military asset out of the war and now you are left to rely on joe johnston who doesn't like to fight or johnhood who does an excellent job of annihilating his army, just happens to be his own and that is what you need. and so therefore, if you look strategically, this partnership does achieve a major objective. it takes the army of northern virginia out of the war. >> so i often think of 1864 as a doctor would think of a case of cancer. and that the
