Best Answer

Meade's strategy was to fight a defensive action, using his superior position (high ground), superior numbers, and interior lines to block Lee's invasion path. Lee's only strategy, given the situation, was to attempt a penetration through direct assault. Such assaults rarely succeed when performed by inferior numbers.

What strategy encouraged by military theorist Heinrich Bulow was followed by prominent US Civil War generals?

A main feature of the military theorist Heinrich D. Bulow was when given a choice, it was better to attack an enemy army's line of communications instead of attacking the enemy's army. To a certain extent, this strategy was followed by Confederate General John Bell Hood after the Atlanta campaign and by Robert E. Lee in the battles of the Antietam, Second Bull Run, and Gettysburg. General US Grant also used this when conducting or directing other generals in his strategy of raids in the Western Theater.
