Northern Virginia Campaign

The Northern Virginia Campaign, or the Second Bull Run Campaign, was a series of battles fought in Virginia during August and September, 1862, in the American Civil War. Confederate General Robert E. Lee followed up his successes of the Seven Days Battles in the Peninsula Campaign by moving north toward Washington, D.C. and defeating Maj. Gen. John Pope and his Army of Virginia. Lee's maneuvering of the Army of Northern Virginia against Pope is considered a military masterpiece.
