What caused Union generals Burnside and Rosecrans to delay their advances into Tennessee in 1863?
General in Chief Henry Wager Halleck was aware of the strong Confederate defenses in Tennessee, however, he ordered generals Burnside and Rosencrans to not delay. The generals did delay, however, because they believed they required reinforcements. Also, both generals faced serious logistical problems. In the case of General Rosecrans, he still had to protect his railroad link and forage for his army against a superior Confederate cavalry. Burnside had no rail link at all. US President Lincoln was unhappy that Halleck's orders were delayed by his field generals. Lincoln questioned their abilities to find supplies, this did damage to the generals' morale.
