    Fighting Joe Hooker

    After the Union’s defeat at Fredericksburg in 1862, morale in the Army of the Potomac was low, worsened by Maj. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside’s failed “Mud March.” However, when Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker took command, he revitalized the army. Hooker prioritized food, establishing regular supplies of fresh vegetables and bread. He improved sanitation, significantly reducing disease rates, and reinstated discipline with regular drills and inspections. Desertions decreased following the introduction of a furlough system.
