Best Answer

General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia fought several major bloody battles in the course of the US Civil War. The two most notable were the battles of Antietam and Gettysburg. Even with 20-20 hindsight there is no majority of military historians who have second guessed the non-pursuit of Union generals McClellan and Meade. Some do criticize them and may point to certain statistics. Even with that information, they were not at the scene of these battles.
