Coming May 21: Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War
THIS MONTH IN CIVIL WAR HISTORY
May, 1862
Shenandoah Valley Campaign
May 1862 opened with Confederate Major General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson in the throes of the Shenandoah Valley Campaign in Virginia. Battles occurred during the month at McDowell, Front Royal, and Winchester. The campaign ended after 30 days; Jackson’s “foot cavalry” had marched 350 miles and defeated three Northern armies in five battles. Stonewall’s quick thinking, excellent use of maps, and rapid movements immobilized 60,000 Federal troops needed elsewhere.
