he wanted to

Gen. Lee hoped than if he attacked the Union in the North, then it would be unexpected, and he would not be facing the usual large Union soldiers that were all over the South. Attacking Maryland and Pennsylvania were almost the only times that the South fought major battles in the North, (although there was a battle in Vermont). Gen. Lee took chances because the Union had more men, more equipment, and more industry. "When your back is against the wall", some people take chances and win.
