In this episode of American Civil War & UK History, Podcast Daz was joined by historian Tim Willging to discuss the Maryland Campaign.
The Maryland campaign took place from September 4 to 20, 1862. After winning the northern Virginia campaign, General Lee led 55,000 men north through the Shenandoah Valley. Confederate Major General Stonewall Jackson surrounded, bombarded, and captured Harpers Ferry from September 12 to 15. Meanwhile, General McClellan's army of 102,000 men tried to move quickly through the South Mountain passes that separated them from Lee, leading to the Battle of South Mountain.
