Because the South needed a victory on Union soil to convince the British and French to intervene on their behalf...it would HAVE been a total Confederate victory had not a Union scouting party miraculously happened upon the Army of Northern VA's (Southern) marching orders wrapped up in a cigar case......divine intervention...Good luck for the North, bad luck for the South....sort of like the Germans losing at El Alemein, Stalingrad, and running out of fuel during Battle of the Bulge....
