War Fifty Years Ago By Iain G. Kilmer Army of the Potomac reorganizes for the Rappahannock
General Burnside splits the Army of the Potomac into right center and left grand divisions with Sumner on the right, Hooker center, and Franklin left. The move precedes the Fredericksburg operation as Confederates under Lee, Longstreet, and Jackson respond, with Sumner threatening Washington and provost marshal actions and a tense demand for surrender of Fredericksburg. The piece outlines conscription, opposition in Georgia, and wartime finance including gold premiums and bond sales under Salmon P. Chase amid rising war costs.
