I just think he wasn't going so much for a long campaign as he was for a victory on northern soil that would so demoralize the North that the anti-war clamour would have been too great for Washington to ignore.

Then saving Vicksburg becomes academic. And I also think that the AoNV and Jeff Davis were more concerned with Richmond's safety.
