The Shenandoah Valley was known as the breadbasket of the Confederacy during the American Civil War and seen as a back door for Confederate raids on Maryland, D.C. and Pennsylvania. Because of its strategic importance it was the scene of three major campaigns. The first was the Valley Campaign of 1862, in which Confederate General Stonewall Jackson defended the valley against three numerically superior Union armies. The final were the Valley Campaigns of 1864. In the summer of 1864 when Confederate General Jubal Early cleared the Valley of its Union occupiers and then proceeded to raid Maryland, Pennsylvania and D.C. Then during the fall, Union General Phillip Sheridan was sent to drive Early from the Valley and once-and-for-all destroy its use to the Confederates by putting it to the torch using scorched-earth tactics. The Valley, especially in the lower northern section, was also the scene of bitter partisan fighting as the Valley and its surroundings were deeply divided over loyalties.
