The Battle of Gettysburg turned out to be one of the most important battles of the Civil War. But what if the unthinkable happens.... the South wins the Battle of Gettysburg, things might have never been the same. If the South did win, the North would have to seriously consider the possibility of two separate nations, or worse, one Confederate nation. The war wasn't in the Union's favor, and the thoughts that went through every one's mind is,"Is this war worth it?" With these thoughts, Lincoln will also have to reconsider the fate of the "preservation" of the Union and seek out peace.
After the days of fighting, it seemed like the attention was on Gettysburg. It was now a very important battle to be won. Important battles like these were those of the possibility that could have ended the war.It was battles like these that really mattered.
I don't think that the South would have gained foreign support from Britain or France because they supported slavery which Britain and France outlawed. To support the South was like supporting for more homework and projects. Supporting something that you oppose.
The Battle of Gettysburg was a major battle that changed the course of the war and American history.
I agree with you with the seperate nations part. I think that if they lost Gettysburg, they probably would have gave up, lose all morale, and probably want to just let South be a seperate nation, the Confederate States of America. I also agree with you with the foreign support. The foreign countries aren't hypocrites, not having slavery in their country and then fighting for it. So yes, they will not receive the support. Yup, te Battle of Gettysburg was a turning point and a major battle. However, I think tha tthe homework and projects part is a bad analogy. Because in Britain and France, they DID NOT HAVE slavery, and thus not support it. However, the homework and projects, WE DO HAVE IT. Just that most of us don't like it. We still HAVE HOMEWORK AND PROJECTS. For example, THIS IS OUR HOMEWORK. So, they did oppose it, but they didn't have it so I think your analogy is bad.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the part on foreign support and considering two separate nations, however, I don't agree with the "one Confederate nation part". The Confederacy was not trying to conquer the Union.
