The overall strategy of General Robert E. Lee and other Confederate generals were a product of the Confederacy's policy concerning the US Civil War.The policy called for extended the war until the North grew weary of fighting it and because the loss in Union soldiers' lives would be intolerable. Combined with this was an offer to negotiate a peace, hosted by Great Britain. Lee's strategy then was to win enough victories and retreat as necessary, to prolong the war. There was a strong peace movement in the North to end what was becoming a blood bath for both sides. One part of Lee's strategy was to raid the North with the Army of Northern Virginia to demoralize the North.
