The Army of the Potomac was the principal Union Army in the Eastern Theater of the American Civil War. It was created in July 1861 shortly after the First Battle of Bull Run and was disbanded in June 1865 following the surrender of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia in April. The army's major battles and campaigns included the Fredericksburg Campaign, the Chancellorsville Campaign, the Gettysburg Campaign, and Appomattox including Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House.
