Confederate General Robert E. Lee has plans for the Spring of 1864. His goal was to give whatever aid he could to General Longstreet, and have Longstreet invade Kentucky. Lee believed that the operation would take the Federals by surprise. Once in Kentucky Longstreet could supply himself.Lee also believed that Longstreet could cut General Grant's communication lines.

To be able to move quickly, he envisioned that Longstreet could move faster if he placed infantrymen on horseback.
