Jefferson Davis ordered General Robert E. Lee to launch an offensive into Maryland in the summer of 1862, specifically in late August. This directive was part of Lee's broader strategy during the Civil War, culminating in the Battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862. The invasion aimed to shift the war into Union territory and gain support for the Confederate cause.

What factors are necessary to analyze when evaluating the decision by both Confederate General Robert E. Lee and Confederate President Jefferson Davis to launch the Maryland campaign?

In analyzing the quality of the Confederate decision to launch a campaign in Maryland, one important factor was that both Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis, could see that the chances of having an opportunity to bring the war to the North would be limited ones. The opportunity to launch the Maryland campaign was a window of opportunity, that was unlikely to repeat itself. With that said, the idea of launching an offensive into Maryland was a good decision, despite the fact that the results were unfavorable to the South. These are the chances and results of a good decision, in any war, to invade Maryland, yet not reach the intended goal.
