General Robert E. Lee is most famously known for his leadership of the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. One of his significant victories was the capture of Harpers Ferry in 1862, which provided the Confederacy with valuable supplies and arms. Additionally, his strategic maneuvers during battles like the Second Battle of Bull Run and the Battle of Chancellorsville resulted in substantial Union losses and territory gains for the Confederacy. However, ultimately, his campaign culminated in the surrender at Appomattox Court House in 1865, marking the end of the Civil War.

Why does lee end up fighting in Gettysburg?

Lee was drawn into the Battle of Gettysburg by mistake. General Henry Heath advanced on Gettysburg on the morning of July 1, 1863, in order to capture a supply of shoes in the area. His men were attacked by General Buford's cavalry division. By the time General Lee arrived on the battlefield in the afternoon, several other Confederate units had joined General Heath and the battle had developed into a major engagement.

How did General Lee divide his army in response to the Union's occupation of Harpers Ferry in 1862?

On September 8, 1862, General Lee becomes aware of the fact that Union troops occupy Harpers Ferry. This is a danger to his plans as Lee expects to draw supplies from the northern end of the Shenandoah Valley. Lee is therefore compelled to capture Harpers Ferry and on September 9, 1862 his plan of operation is set forth.Lee decides to divide his army into three segments. One is led by generals Jackson and McLaws to capture Harpers Ferry. These troops will attack the fortified garrison from the west and the north. A second segment of his army is led by General Walker to attack Harpers Ferry from the southeast. A third division calls for General Longstreet to capture Boonsboro and Hagerstown as a base for future operations. This is the famous "lost order" that is retrieved by a Union soldier and given to General McClellan. He now has Lee's plans but advances with all precautions.
