Question

1. why did robert e. lee lead the confederate army into maryland and the battle of antietam?○ he wanted to inspire a pro-confederate uprising.○ he lacked the confidence to fight the union anywhere else.○ he was obeying orders from european governments.○ he had ample supplies to fight wherever he wanted.

Explanation:

Robert E. Lee invaded Maryland in 1862 with the goal of encouraging pro-Confederate civilians in the border state to rise up and join the Southern cause, which would strengthen the Confederacy's position. The other options are incorrect: Lee did not follow European orders, he was confident in his army's ability to fight the Union elsewhere, and his army was low on supplies (a key reason he sought resources in Maryland).

Answer:

He wanted to inspire a pro-Confederate uprising.
