June 1863 CE

Lee, having defeated Hooker's Union forces at Chancellorsville, decides to invade the North in hopes of further discouraging the enemy and possibly inducing European countries to recognize the Confederacy.

Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, seventy-five thousand strong, begins a second invasion of the North, by way of the Shenandoah Valley into southern Pennsylvania.

Hooker follows him closely with the Army of the Potomac.
