If you read Lee's actual orders to Stuart, you'd probably get the sense Stuart believed he was doing his job.
quote:Hate Lee all you want, and you do.
That's one thing Grant completely has over Lee. Grant's orders contained no ambiguity.
The only thing Grant "had" on Lee was a population and manufacturing base, along with cigar & alcohol consumption.

He did exactly as Lee instructed:
He moved out to the right and started collecting supplies for Lee's army once he saw Hooker beginning to move North.
quote:
If you find that he [Hooker] is moving northward, and that two brigades can guard the Blue Ridge and take care of your rear, you can move with the other three into Maryland, and take position on General [Richard] Ewell’s right, place yourself in communication with him, guard his flank, keep him informed of the enemy’s movements, and collect all the supplies you can for the use of the army.
