Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By 1864, the Confederacy was facing a shortage of resources and manpower, and a full-scale invasion of the North or besieging Washington, DC would have been difficult to sustain. Instead, the Confederacy hoped to wear down the North's will to fight by continuing the war and inflicting as much damage as possible. This strategy was known as "attrition" and relied on the hope that the Union would tire of the conflict and seek a negotiated peace.
