Confederate General Edward Porter Alexander graduated from West Point in 1857. Among the 38 cadets who graduated that year, Alexander ranked 3rd. General Alexander was in agreement with General Longstreet. His proposal was that the combined forces of generals Bragg and Johnston would defeat Union General Rosencrans which would have allowed the Confederates to then drive towards Cincinnati, Ohio. This would solve many problems. With General Lee crossing the Potomac and heading towards Pennsylvania, and another Confederate army marching towards Ohio would surely end any siege around Vicksburg. The North simply could not afford to have two powerful Union states be occupied with Southern armies.
