General Hooker had his problems this battle would help to settle that issue for “Honest Abe”.
He was relieved of command in time for General Meade to lead during the Battle of Gettysburg and the rest is history.
A personal note. (I have posted this information before.) My great-grandfather (sic my father's maternal grandfather) emigrated from Dublin and fought with the New York Infantry at First Manassas. He was discharged when his 90 day enlistment was over. He must have reenlisted because he was listed as deserting on the March to Chancellorsville on May 2, 1862. I do not know where he wound up, but my great-great-grandfather (paternal all the way) was a police captain fighting Irish rioters at the time of Gettysburg.
My gut feeling is most of the Generals that Abe fired where the big time political liars, they wanted fame and glory but didn't want to admit big mistakes when they made them.
