The Confederates aimed to defeat the Union through a strategy of defensive warfare, leveraging their knowledge of the terrain and the motivation to protect their homeland. They sought to prolong the conflict, betting that the North would lose the will to fight due to war fatigue and economic strain. Additionally, the Confederacy aimed to secure foreign recognition and support, particularly from Britain and France, by leveraging their cotton production. Overall, their plan relied on outlasting the Union's resources and willpower rather than achieving a decisive military victory.
