Join Civil War historians for a study of General Robert E. Lee's most decisive and brilliant campaign in Virginia. The complex Second Battle of Manassas in August 1862 resulted in high casualties and illustrated the importance of sound leadership on the field of battle. After his resounding defeat, Union General John Pope lost command of his Army of Virginia and destroyed the reputations of his key subordinates, Generals Irvin McDowell and Fitz John Porter. In achieving a clear victory, Lee-with the active cooperation Generals Stonewall Jackson and James Longstreet-cleared the way for his first invasion of the North.
