Part of the National Park Civil War Series. When Robert E. Lee took command of the Army of Northern Virginia in June 1862, it stood on the precipice of defeat. Less than a month later the Confederates were maneuvering for the Federal jugular and the Army of the Potomac was fighting for survival in and around Richmond. Here, Lee put his army on the offensive and aggressively pushed McClellan's Federal troops back from Richmond. Lee was the key ingredient for the South's renaissance in 1862. He would go on to lead his army across Virginia and Maryland, compiling an unmatched record of military achievements.
