Why did lee with the consent of the confederate government once more plan to invade the North?
Following the bloody conclusion to the South's unsuccessful 1862 invasion of the North, Lee consented (quite willingly) to another invasion-plan in 1863 for several reasons. For one thing, this would give a respite to the Southern lands in the vicinity of Richmond. For another, it would strike a hurtful blow to the interior of the North and perhaps even lead to the capture of Washington, D.C. For yet another, it would disrupt any Northern intent to invade the South in the Eastern Theater. And finally, it could also draw forces away from the Western Theater, where Union troops were having success against the Confederate armies.
