    Lee believed that if he could destroy the Army of the Potomac (or a significant portion of it) on Union soil, either public opinion in the North would force Lincoln to make a negotiated peace that recognized the CSA as a sovereign, independent country, or Britain and France would officially recognize the CSA, which would have the same effect.
