If the Confederacy won the battle, the Gettysburg address would've never spoken by President Lincoln. It wouldn't effect the outcome of the war because the Confederacy wouldn't get foreign support because of the Emancipation Proclamation. Even if foreign countries considered helping the Confederacy, I think that winning the battle of Gettysburg would tell other countries that they could win the war without help. In my opinion, President Lincoln would never live in peace with the Confederate even if they won Gettysburg.
Jason Kong: The reasons about why Lincoln will come to a treaty will the South far outweigh the reasons about why he should not. Plus, the Gettysburg address had nothing to do with the outcome. (Remember that it was 4 months after). Also, you can just count on a little proclamation to set the minds of the foreign countries up to not help the South. Face it. The victor of the Battle of Gettysburg was going to be the victor of the war.
