She's not doing it to feed the South. She's doing it to establish better relationships with Union and to make them pour their energies (and capital) into something other than warfare.
I don't know what all her plans are, or how much she'll have to adjust. But I'm pretty sure her endgame is "everyone trading with everyone else and having a lot more interest in keeping doing so than in waging war". And she doesn't mind thinking long term.
