I disagree. I don't think he went on the offensive just for his own glory. I believe he wanted to bring the war to the North and also persuade the Europeans to enter the war on the South's side.
Again, Lee lost his right arm when Jackson died.

Almost the entire student body of Ole Miss (135/139), formed Company A, 11th Misssissippi, known as the "University Grey's. Company A incurred 100 % casualities in Pickett's Charge.

Time was short. He thought he had the better troops and just wanted to duke it out.
Now if he'd just cut and ran towards Washington, DC like some of his advisors wanted while the Union guys were digging in at Gettysburg...
