Excerpt from The Military Telegraph During the Civil War in the United States, Vol. 2: With an Exposition of Ancient and Modern Means of Communication, and of the Federal and Confederate Cipher a Running Account of the War Between the States

The terrible failures at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville would have destroyed the morale of troops less devotedly patriotic than were those of the Army of the Potomac. Nothing short of deep convictions as to the justness of the Federal cause; of intense determination to maintain it, cost what it might; of an abiding faith that in the end the right would prevail; of the proud martial spirit of its rank and file, and of the unflagging belief that the powers of the Governments, National and State, were being steadily and energetically exercised to support and strengthen this great army, could have saved it after its losses in many struggles, seemingly fruitless, except in wounds and deaths, from disintegration and utter ruin. Across the Rappahannock lay a hostile army, emboldened and elated by success until it thought itself invincible. Large reinforcements were crowding to it, including especially Longstreet's forces from near Suffolk, Virginia. Supplies were abundant, genial weather at hand and a promise of a campaign of invasion of the enemy's country - a project always dear to the confident warrior - these things and a belief that can not be denied most of them, that theirs was a just cause, made Lee's soldiers an army of astonishing power. More than Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware and the District, more than the States it might hope to traverse, it threatened even the autonomy of the Union, as never before.
