General Robert E. Lee, the Confederate commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, invaded Union territory in an attempt to persuade the United States into a negotiated peace after a hoped-for decisive and damaging attack on Northern soil.<span> It was also believed that a notable Southern victory in Union territory might have resulted in financial support and recognition of the Confederate cause from England or France. General Lee's first invasion of the North, which took place in Maryland during September of 1862, was repulsed by Union forces at the Battle of Antietam, but it was followed by a second invasion by Lee into Pennsylvania during the months of June and July in 1863.

The correct answer is A) to remove Union pressure from Virginia.

<em>Confederate General Robert E. Lee decided to invade Union territory during the Civil War to remove Union pressure from Virginia.</em>

In 1862, General Lee drove away the Union Army of the Potomac from Richmond, Virginia. This victory removed the capital from the pressure of the Union's Army. Then, Lee marched to the north in August and won again, now in the Battle of Bull Run. General Robert E. Lee considered that a victory over the Union Army would give them support from European countries and create opposition to the war in the northern states.

The other options of the question were B) to protect the Confederate capital, C) to make winning the war easier, and D)

to draw Union troops from Vicksburg.
