The Gettysburg Campaign of 1863 is what many consider the turning point of the ACW, after which the South had no chance of winning, if they ever had at all.

So, if after Lee wins the Battle of Chancellorsville he just moves up towards Washington and holds there. Therefore making the Union come to him.

Lee is more cautious as Jackson is now dead and he is now without his right hand man.

As defence needs less men than attacking could Vicksburg be reinforced? Can a goodly number of men be spared to harass the Union force in the Western Theatre drawing the Union from Vicksburg and other places they are pressing?

Just me first thoughts, over to you lot.
