This was maybe Lee's best strategy of the war but it had to be executed perfectly for it to succeed.
His first mistake is giving Stuart too much freedom to range as far out as he did. His second was having his army too strung out as he makes his turn to Gettysburg. He's strung out for at least 25 miles. Also the Battle ar Brandy Station a few weeks before turns out to be costly....yeah Stuart gets an upper hand but essentially he leaves the contingent intact. Once Lee makes his turn, he takes too much time moving east.
