June 1863 CE

Hooker had started his entire army in pursuit; over the past few weeks, Hooker has argued with both Lincoln and Halleck over the role of the garrison at Harpers Ferry.

On June 28, President Lincoln loses patience with him and relieves him of command, replacing him with V Corps commander, Major General George G. Meade.

After reviewing the positions of the army's corps with Hooker, Meade orders the army to advance into southern Pennsylvania in a wide front, with the intention of protecting Washington and Baltimore and finding Lee's army.

He also draws up plans to defend a line behind Pipe Creek in northern Maryland in case he cannot find suitable ground in Pennsylvania to fight a battle to his advantage.
