During which campaign was Robert E. Lee surprised and almost trapped due to Stuart's absence?

  • Maryland Campaign

  • Gettysburg Campaign

  • Shenandoah Valley Campaign

  • Peninsula Campaign

Answer

Robert E. Lee was surprised and almost trapped due to Stuart's absence during the Gettysburg Campaign. Stuart was responsible for gathering intelligence on the Union army, but he was absent during the Battle of Gettysburg. This left Lee without critical information about the enemy's movements, and he was forced to make decisions without all the facts.
