Lee's strategy was to bloddy the Union enough to have the sue for peace. He knew the South had no legitimate chance of winning a prolonged war.
That was Lee's strategy in 1864, not 1862. In 1862, he truly believed he could win the war outright. In fact, he believed this all the way up until Gettysburg in 1863.

Had Gettysburg gone the other way, the South would have won the war.
