During the US Civil War, often times offensive flanking attacks failed due to the difficulty of its execution. Arranging a successful flank attack required many elements to fall in favor of the assaulting army. The operation of moving assaulting troops past the enemy's front defensive lines and be undetected was risky. The enemy could compensate by redistributing its forces or breaking off any engagement at all. The other problem was that the defensive army often times had the advantage of choosing the terrain of an upcoming battle. The major danger however, was that the attackers would be subject to a counter attack if the flanking movement failed.
The best way for the offensive to overcome these obstacles was to have a large advantage in troops, skilled commanders and good artillery.

How were flanking movements executed in the US Civil War?
The armies of the US Civil War were all trained to perform flanking movements to attempt to take advantage of weaknesses in the enemy's battle formations. Most of these maneuvers were not complicated. A line of soldiers shifted from that formation either to the right or to the left. The maneuver involved each man to the designated position, and therefore this halted the previous march forward. Flanking movements were often a constant part or sub-part of most major battles.
