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.

General Robert E. Lee's military strategy during the American Civil War primarily focused on offensive tactics, rapid movements, and exploiting the weaknesses of Union forces. He emphasized the importance of maneuverability, often engaging in aggressive flanking movements to surprise and outmaneuver his opponents. Lee also sought to leverage the strong defensive positions of the Confederate army, aiming to win decisive battles that would demoralize the North and encourage foreign intervention. His strategy combined bold leadership with a deep understanding of terrain and logistics, although ultimately it faced challenges due to resource limitations and the Union's numerical superiority.

During the American Civil War, General Robert E. Lee's attempted invasions of the North in 1862 and 1863 suggest various things about his qualities as a leader and general. Above all, they demonstrate his willingness to take risks for the sake of great rewards: one may not succeed where the risk is high, but if one does then victory becomes all the more achievable.
