The Second Battle of Manassas, fought from August 28 to August 30, 1862, began as a result of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's desire to push Union forces out of Northern Virginia. Following his victory at the First Battle of Manassas, Lee aimed to capitalize on the Union's weakened position under General John Pope, who had taken command of the Army of Virginia. The battle erupted when Lee's forces engaged Pope's troops in a series of confrontations, ultimately leading to a decisive Confederate victory.
General Hooker's plan to defeat Lee's army was hampered primarily by poor communication and intelligence failures. Misunderstandings regarding troop movements and positions led to a lack of coordination among Union forces. Additionally, Lee's forces were able to capitalize on the element of surprise and better terrain during the Battle of Chancellorsville, ultimately leading to Hooker's defeat.
At the Battle of Fredricksburg, Confederate General Robert E. Lee' opponent was General Ambrose Burnside. Lee gained a major victory at that battle.
