I think it was a lost cause by then. Hood was trying to hold back the ocean. Sherman brought the war home to Georgia, IMO unnecessarily. When the ANV was in the North Lee and the commanders took pains to conduct themselves as best they could in 1863. They could have burned and looted a lot of southeast Pennsylvania and a good chunk of Maryland if they wanted.
Hell Stuart could have probably torched Harrisburg maybe even Baltimore and who knows what else if Lee had told him to just ride.

How you gonna defend New Orleans with no navy and knowing its high priority target?

It doesn't mean anything as a port as long as the blockade is in place. Just don't let the North control the entire Mississippi by taking Vicksburg. Defeat Grant and push him out of Mississippi. A big win was needed to MAYBE get the British and French to come in, one or both had the navy that was needed.

The Civil War started with the Kansas-Nebraska Act, followed by the Dred Scott decision. The monied north could not let popular sovereignty, which allowed the people to decide whether they were free or slave, and the Dred Scott case, which saw the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court assert that Congress has no constitutional power to exclude slavery in the territories, to stand.
The north started preparing for war then, which is why they won. The south talked war and secession, but didn’t prepare.

I know you are so sad that your precious South lost it's right to own human beings, but try to move on.
Biggest evidence of the Civil War being more than just over slavery:
That 10th amendment hasn’t meant too much since then, no?
You know, the one where all rights and powers expressly not given to the federal government are explicitly reserved by the states?
And yet since then, courts have used implicit interpretation to determine what they want
