Davis and Lee aimed to take the war effort north to relieve pressure on the Confederate economy and to secure vital resources. A successful invasion of the North could potentially sway public opinion against the war and encourage European powers to recognize the Confederacy. Additionally, they hoped to disrupt Union supply lines and gain a decisive victory on Northern soil to boost Confederate morale. Ultimately, they believed that a successful campaign could lead to a negotiated peace.
