The raids were against his orders, he just decided to do them. The fight at Kentucky cost him the life of his youngest brother, and although the union derided the actions as the Calico raids because of how much 'material' they liberated, the small force tied up tens of thousands of union troops some of whom would have participated at the Battle of Chickamauga.

Well they covered over 1000 miles from Tennessee to Northern Ohio in 46 days and despite the fear and redeployments they caused it was another defeat.
Close.
The raid indirectly assisted the Battles of Gettsburg and Chichmagua by diverting northern troops to block this raid. Even though Morgan was not ordered to conduct this kind of operation.
Too complicated answer -- it's too quite simple points.

Correct: deepest and longest raid into enemy territory in the American Civil War.
