Sharpsburg (Antietam) - 1862
At Sharpsburg, Lee split his forces in order to seize Harper's
Ferry. This became known to Union General McClellan via the famous
"lost order". As a result, Lee almost lost his army. (See
Sharpsburg)
Lee's Hill
From this viewpoint, Lee watched the events during the battle of
Fredericksburg. The trees, blocking the view, in this 1998
photograph were gone. (See
Fredericksburg)

Location of the last meeting of Jackson and Lee.
Upon starting his twelve mile march around General Hooker's Union

life, Jackson had his last meeting with Robert E. Lee at the spot
shown in this 1998 photograph. (See
Chancellorsville and
Stonewall Jackson)

It is argued that Gettysburg was the turning point of the Civil War.
Lee, Longstreet, JEB Stuart, and others have been blamed for the Confederate
defeat there. (See Gettysburg)
