The last significant offensive launched by the Confederacy into the North during the American Civil War was the Gettysburg Campaign in 1863, culminating in the Battle of Gettysburg from July 1 to July 3. Led by General Robert E. Lee, this campaign aimed to penetrate Northern territory and gain a decisive victory, but it ended in a significant defeat for the Confederate Army. Following Gettysburg, the South was largely on the defensive for the remainder of the war, unable to mount another major offensive into Northern territory.

What were the effects of the Tet offensive and how did the effects result from the offensive?

Though the Tet offensive was eventually pushed back by South Vietnamese forces, the main aim of this strike was to lower morale and support for the republic in the South. However, the fact that the cease fire had been publicly announced in both North and South Vietnam prior to the Tet Lunar New Year Celebrations, meant that the public frowned down upon the North Vietnamese as they had broken the cease fire agreement. The only way that the Tet offensive was effective was the fact that the attack was publicised in America showing that the North Vietnamese could launch such a large attack when the US government had convince the US public that they were not capable of such a large scale attack.


The last time south could launch an offensive in the north was lee's deafeat at the battle of what?

During the first three days of July, 1863, Confederate Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia was defeated at the Battle of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania. This was the last offensive that Lee undertook for the rest of the war. Although the battle was a punishing defeat for the South, it did not end the possibility that the South still had a chance to win this civil war. The South had to hope that the war would end because the North would see that the cost of lives needed to end the Confederacy was too great to carry on the war.


What advantage over the south did the north have when it launched an offensive into marlyand in September 1862?

The offensive was launched by the South, not the North. The particular advantage enjoyed by the North was a set of Lee's orders that a Confederate officer had lost in the field, and were shown to McClellan. These orders revealed that Lee's divisions were widely separated, and could be destroyed piecemeal. McClellan did not move fast enough to exploit this advantage to the full, but Lee had to concentrate his forces in a hurry and fight in a location that was unfavourable to him.
