General
Burnside was replaced by General Joseph in the year 1863. General
Joseph assumes the duty of Ambrose Burnside's heartbreaking residency. General
Joseph's arrangement was a piece of President Abraham Lincoln's disappointing
procedure of finding a triumphant general in the East.
Lincoln trusted General
Joseph could overcome Confederate General Robert E. Lee. It was a difficult
request, however, and General Joseph was not up to the test. In May 1863, General
Joseph conflicted with Lee at the Battle of Chancellorsville, Virginia, and the
Union armed force endured a conclusive and dazzling annihilation. Lincoln's
look for a successful leader proceeded, and in the mid-year of 1863 General
Joseph was supplanted with George Meade.
In general, this movement had a negative impact since lots of the expansion involved moving into territories that were controlled by European nations. Although most of the time physical conflict was avoided.
