What if What if the Confederacy won
I think that if the Confederacy had won the battle of Gettysburg the union would have attempted to make peace with them. If the Confederacy had won I don't think it would have changed the mind of Britain or France to support the south. That's because Britain and France had already abolished slavery and helping the south in the war to continue slavery would have criticism on the countries for helping a cause they had already said wasn't right. A win for the Confederacy would have severely dropped the Union morale causing more losses for them and eventually ending with the Confederacy winning the war.

I agree wit you Aldo. If the Union had lost the battle, they probably would've given up hope on winning the war. This would leave them with a final alternative, to make peace with the South. I also agree with your opinion on support from Britain and France. I don't think that Britain or France would support a cause that they don't believe in. A Confederate victory would obviously reduce what little morale the Union had already, up until Gettusburg.
