October 1863 CE

A portion of Meade's army is detached to the western theater in October; Lee sees this as an opportunity to defeat the Union army in detail and to threaten Washington so no more Union forces can be sent west.

The resulting Bristoe Campaign will end with Lee retreating back to the Rapidan River, having failed in his intentions.
