General Lee believed that if an advance into Kentucky began to lose traction based on Union troop movements, there was an alternative. He believed if Longstreet's forces could join him, this would cause another panic in Washington DC. President Lincoln always was concerned about the safety of Washington DC and anything even close to a Lee threat to the city would forestall any Union operations in Virginia.
