Gettysburg Reply (Jason Kong)

The Battle of Gettysburg was inevitably going to be a major battle because of the amount of soldiers fighting. Luckily, the union won and there was, finally, hope of winning, because a battle win of this caliber for the Confederates would have easily sealed the victory for the South. With the win, in Gettysburg, the would probably be a big morale drop for the North and a big morale boost for the South. Basically, the South winning the battle would be like a kind of final wake up call to the North that there was no hope of winning. Also, if the South came out on top, the armies of the North would have been heavily damaged, making a second battle meaningless. European countries like Britain and France would be "wow"ed by the battle win and choose to support the South in fighting because it would show that the South were really motivated and will stand there ground above all costs for there beliefs. The battle would change Lincoln's mind even. Lincoln would've seen that there was no way to win because the North was already losing a lot of big battles and winning in the West was just not going to cut it. In the end, Lincoln would have looked for a treaty to cease the fighting and let the Union fall.
