120 The Civil War: Gettysburg Part I: Preludes

We have finally arrived at Gettysburg. In the first of several
episodes, we will start by exploring Lee's reasoning behind his
extended raid into the keystone state. This was the Confederacy's
last major raid into a northern state, so it garners a great deal
of attention in the history of the Civil War. While not as
critical as it seems, it was nevertheless an important campaign.
Lee took advantage of the tide of good fortune in the aftermath
of his victory at Chancellorsville and was able to quickly pivot
and move the Army of Northern Virginia north. Please take a
listen!
