Originally posted by fable Even if the Confederates had won, how would that have pushed the US armies up into Canada? The Confederacy wasn't looking to take over the US--their stated goal throughout was to achieve legitimacy. If they'd won, it would have been through gaining recognition of the Confederacy as a separate nation.

I will have to agree with Fable here...most of the war from the southern side was fought as a defensive action. Lee's march north was mainly to try and gain support from Europe.
