Title:
The Second Battle of Manassas: with Sketches of the Recent Campaign in Northern Virginia.
Description:
The year 1862 saw high battlefield casualties for both the Union and Confederacy. Victories alternated between them, and the war was at a stalemate. President Lincoln began to talk about measures to bring the war to the Southern homefront, including emancipating those enslaved in the Confederacy and confiscating Confederate property. In August 1862, the Union’s Army of Virginia lost at Manassas/Bull Run for the second time in two years. This pamphlet written by an editor of the Richmond Examiner recounts that battle for a southern audience. The victorious General Robert E. Lee led his southern forces from Virginia into Maryland, thus invading the North.
