Question

1. why did robert e. lee invade pennsylvania and engage the union army at gettysburg?○ he wanted to enlist troops from the north.○ he wanted to demoralize the union.○ he wanted to extend the war.○ he was upset at the loss of stonewall jackson.

Explanation:

Robert E. Lee's 1863 invasion of Pennsylvania (leading to the Battle of Gettysburg) was driven by the goal of demoralizing the Union, which would help secure foreign recognition for the Confederacy, relieve war pressure on Virginia, and potentially force a peace deal. The other options are incorrect: he did not seek Northern troops, had no intent to extend the war, and the loss of Stonewall Jackson occurred after the invasion planning began.

Answer:

He wanted to demoralize the Union.
