Lee's first invasion of the North was launched for 3 distinct reasons:
1) Northern Virginia had become a battlefield. He wanted to give the people a rest.
2) To bring Maryland into the fold as a Confederate state.
3) Win a significant battle on northern soil, forcing the Union to sue for peace, or forcing England and France to recognize the Confederacy as a legitimate and independent nation.
