Why did Confederate leaders want their armies to keep fighting until after election of 1864?
In case Lincoln lost. That would mean the North was not wanting to fight on.
In that case, there would have been a compromise peace, and the South would probably have gained their independence.
As it was, Lincoln won, and the Confederate cause was totally doomed from then on. Any further fighting was pointless, except to show that the Confederates were not the sort of people who would give up easily. (Not much consolation to the bereaved families of those who had died for nothing.)
