What were the problems that confronted Confederate General Robert E Lee for his goal of capturing Harpers Ferry?
In order for General Lee's invasion of Maryland to be a success, his forces would have to surround Harper's Ferry to force its surrender. Lee would need to place a large infantry force to accomplish this. The geography of this mission was a handicap to Lee. Because of the terrain consisting of high mountains, deep rivers and bad roads there was no single route for a united Confederate force to reach its objective. The only course of action was to divide his troops into three divisions. Once these were separated, Generals Jackson, McLaws and Walker would be unable to communicate with each other until all three units could meet at Harper's Ferry. The assault plan was to converge on Harper's Ferry and capture it by September 12th 1862.
