At the end of July 1863\, the Army of Nort hern Virginia and the Army of the Potomac returned to the line of the uppe r Rappahannock. After a brief respite. Both Robert E. Lee and George Meade expected the next phase of the Gettysburg campaign to begin shortly. Inst ead\, each general found himself buffeted by events that disputed his plan s and thwarted his desires throughout August and September 1863. In the sp an of seven weeks\, three major cavalry battles were fought in or around C ulpeper County\, as military and political leaders from both sides make wa r altering strategic decisions amid draft rots\, manpower woes\, and the c ampaign for Chattanooga. This period represents the critical connective ti ssues between Gettysburg and the upcoming Bristoe Station and Mine Run cam paigns which would decide whether Meade would pick the fruits of his Penns ylvania victory or be denied its rewards by Lee. \;
