	Ambrose Powell Hill, 1825-1865
		Hill was born and educated in Virginia, before attending West Point from 1842 to 1847 (his graduation was delayed by a failure in philosophy and chemistry).
		Hill’s division was present at Fredericksburg, but at the opposite end of the line to that engaged by the Union advance, and so took little active part in the battle.
		Hill was away from the army from 8 May to 21 May, entirely missing the battle of Spotsylvania, and the start of the fighting at the North Anna River.
