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.

The american republic
The Founding Fathers of the US borrowed some of the elements of government from Rome, but they developed and added a few innovations. Unlike Rome, checks and balances came from the workings of three areas of government: a President, who was responsible for the jobs of Commander in Chief of the military, would appoint ambassadors to take care of foreign policy, and could propose laws to the Legislative Branch; the Legislative Branch, including both a Senate, whose members are elected for six year terms, and a House of Representatives, whose members are elected for two year terms. Both houses need to agree on a law before it is sent to the President for signature. Finally, they created an independent Judiciary known as the Supreme Court whose job it was to ensure that laws passed by the Legislature were consistent with the U.S. Constitution.

The Roman government, though was advanced for its time, it was was overcome with corruption and instability. The Senate would usually have more power over the Executive branch and there was very little to no independence among the branches of government, which tended to be heavily influenced by dominant political faction. The United States distributes its power evenly. Because each state has both local and national representatives, it helps promote the interests of the people in a way that Roman government did not. The American Republic is a lot more evolved and refined then that of Ancient Rome.
