Answer 1

However, the battle stopped Lee’s plans to invade the North for the time being

Answer 2

Propelled

Step-by-step explanation:

Propel means to push forward. So the meaning of the sentence would change as it would become "however, the battle (pushed forward) Lee's plans to invade the North for the time being." This completely changes the meaning of the sentence as halt means to stop and propel means to go.
