Mmhmm!! It was a significant turning point. If the Confederacy had won, Union morale go down to almost zero because then South would have finally suceeded in winning a battle in the Northern side. The South would have over crazy morale and win the war. Maybe even this battle the North would sign a treaty and Confederacy were a country. Some of you might say the South might get over cocky, but I don't think so. They are fighting for independence not trying to show off to some girl or something. This battle would definitely have affected the outcome by a lot. South would have won and more ammunition, supplies, and morale would increase. I think the South though, would never receive the foreing support they needed. That is because the fight will be for slavery, not for independence anymore after a little while. Lincoln Forever and ever guys! Let's do this!
There was something that you guys don't know about, and that is Vicksburg Campaign (I would know, because it's my project). Vicksburg divided the South into half and gave the South harder time of transporting resources and trading. When their force is divided into half and they can't share their resources, it will greatly decrease the South's will to fight. Gettisburg WAS big battle. This battle will make Southern generals more cocky, because many of Southern generals were keep winning and as they win, they'll have more trust within themselves and start being cocky and conceited. There were battles that Southern generals were being cocky and they lost, so just because they're fighting for independence, it doesn't mean that the Southern generals will not get cocky.
ReplyDeleteI think the North would have began to make a treaty because the South was already defeating with them and with another major battle for them they would have had a larger chance than the Union in continuing to do well in battles.
