Description:
In the Battle of Antietam, Robert E. Lee attempted and failed to invade the north, and thus his army was forced to retreat. At Chancellorsville, Lee daringly attacked the north and forced Hooker’s Union army to retreat. This was his last significant victory; at Gettysburg, Lee attempted to attack the Union army with what he called the “grand charge”, which turned out to be a failure and forced him to retreat on July 4.Added to timeline:
