What significant event happened three days before Meade's appointment to Army of the Potomac?

  • Lincoln's Address

  • Grant’s promotion

  • Lee's northern advance

  • Nothing of note

Answer

Three days prior to General George Meade's appointment to lead the Army of the Potomac, no particularly notable events occurred that directly influenced his impending command. The absence of significant developments during this three-day period suggests that events unfolded relatively routinely in the Union's military operations
