History

Answer:

He wanted to keep the Army of Northern Virginia from invading the North again

Explanation:

The Rebel commander's grand objective was to hold the line of the Rapidan, and he failed; Grant's goal was to negate Lee's army as an effective fighting force, and in that he largely succeeded. By the end of the campaign, Grant had pinned Lee into defensive earthworks around Richmond and Petersburg.

The Union strategy to win the war did not emerge all at once. By 1863, however, the Northern military plan consisted of five major goals: Fully blockade all Southern coasts. This strategy, known as the Anaconda Plan, would eliminate the possibility of Confederate help from abroad.

The Anaconda Plan is the name applied to an outline strategy for suppressing the Confederacy at the beginning of the American Civil War. Proposed by General-in-Chief Winfield Scott, the plan emphasized a Union blockade of the Southern ports, and called for an advance down the Mississippi River to cut the South in two.

Before the Civil War, the South relied heavily on salves because their labor was needed on the plantations. The South’s wealth relied on the agriculture industry. In the North, inventions had made business easier to excel. Business was different in the North, and cities were urban rather than country like. You can see that slaves were not very important in the North. But, most in the North became abolitionists because they realized slavery would destroy the country. The Civil War happened not only to abolish slavery, but also to preserve the Union.
