Shenandoah Valley Campaign 1. Confederate Lt. Gen.
”Stonewall” Jackson's strategy in Virginia's
Shenandoah Valley, May–June 1862, during the
Civil War. Jackson used his modest force of 4,200 men in an offensive thrust north, causing Union troops to draw reinforcements from other campaigns to protect the capital of Washington. This innovative and aggressive strategy is considered Jackson's greatest accomplishment.
2. an 1864 Union campaign during the
Civil War to take the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, thus depriving the Confederacy of its strategic and agricultural benefits. The principal Gens. were
Jubal Early on the Confederate side, and
Philip H. Sheridan on the Union side with vastly superior forces. The Union prevailed and gained control of the valley, contributing greatly to President
Abraham Lincoln's reelection the same year.
