As written on the tin.
IOTL Lee conducted the invasion of the north which culminated in Antietam battle (and the Declaration of Emancipation
). Imagine that Davis vetoes this operation and mandates an effort to reconquer New Orleans before november mid term northern elections using part of Lee forces.
I know, New Orleans is not exactly the next stop after Richmond but Butler forces are quite limited and you don't need to move south the whole NVA.
Possible? impossible (if so why?)
If successful it would be a real shock for the north possibly ending up with a non-administration friendly House and a better evaluation of confederate chances on part of the british and french governments.
