What questionable operational decisions in the invasion of Maryland were made by Confederate General Robert E. Lee that can be understood based on the unique opportunity his invasion tried to exploit?
From a purely tactical perspective, it was a mistake for Confederate General Robert E. Lee to march the entire army to Frederick, Maryland before having cleared his supply line by capturing Harpers Ferry. The Union decision to make a stand there damaged Lee's plan and forced the devision of his army that gave Union General McClellan a step forward to derail Lee's plans.
