That isn't your only recourse. You could also stand behind cover and shoot after being fired upon as the Confederates did at Fredericksburg and against Grant in the Overland Campaign. That is what we call a defensive posture.

When your goal is to defend Virginia. You defend it by driving opposing forces out of Virginia. I don't know any other way to spell it out to you. I have argued with many people back in the day about Civil War, sometimes against southern strategy and sometimes for it. This may be the dumbest stuff I've read,your post, no "offense." We will agree to disagree. It doesn't really matter
