About ten days after the Battle of Chancellorsville, the Confederate's Supreme
Command decided to invade the Pennsylvania via Shenandoah Valley
The motivations were:
take the war the enemy territory's inside;
gain a decisive victory by means of a pitched battle to be fought in a place previously chosen there;
obtain from France and Great Britain the acknowledgement of the Confederacy as independent Nation.
Lee's Army was able to elude the Army of Potomac lined up on the Rappahannock's northern bank and going westward along the route Culpeper, Front Royal, Winchester, crossed the Potomac at Williamsport, entering then in Pennsylvania, outbalancing the Union forces, which, outdistanced, had to run after them up to the preordained Gettysburg heights and plains.
