Was it possible the Robert E. Lee would had invaded Pennsylvania if he knew that President Lincoln and General Halleck had no plans at all of engaging battle in Virginia?
It was true that Confederate President Jefferson Davis, his War department and General Lee, were all certain, that despite the weaknesses of Union General Hooker, yet another assault on Richmond was being planned. Despite Hooker's defeat at Chancellorsville, where he vastly outnumbered Lee, the Army of the Potomac remained a threat to Richmond. Lee's raid into Maryland, then Pennsylvania effectively ended any threat at all to Richmond. But dissolving that threat was only one of the reasons Lee wanted to raid the North. He needed to resupply it, and he wanted to place the North on the defensive. These two things were accomplished. Yet, whether the knowledge that Richmond was not at risk, affected his total grand design is unknown. The main reason the issue continues to be debated is that Lee did not plan to lose at Gettysburg.
