Confederacy wins Gettysburg.. hmmmm
If the Confederacy had won at Gettysburg then the Union would have stopped fighting and retreat. The Union did not have much luck before and the soldiers had no reason to fight; they did not have something to keep them going. Lincoln would have probably need to come up with another plan to make peace with the South. The Confederates would have gained land and maybe a little more after their confidence in winning a major battle. The Union would have probably stopped fighting. After winning, the Confederates wouldn't have gotten the help from France and Britain. Not only because they won that major battle, but also France and Britain opposed slavery unlike the South.

i agree with this. Especially with the fact that they needed something to keep them going and trying, it let them know that their fighting wasn't pointless after all.
