    Imma get out my notes! * snatches binder from the dusty corner it was left in*

    Alright, so the Battle of Gettysburg was actually a Union Victory. This battle was unplanned since the two armies more or less bumped into eachother in Pennsylvania since the Confederacy was trying their chances in taking an offensive position (or something like that). However, this battle was not the final one, and didn't immediately make the Confederacy surrender. Robert E. Lee, a Confederate general, was forced to retreat due to his partnering general's decision to lead a suicidal march. This battle was not too long after "Stonewall" Jackson, a very morale-boosting Confederate general which won the battles with his stubbornness, died. At this time, the morale in the Confederacy is quite low.

    To put this all in a nutshell, the battle wasn't planned out, it was a Union victory due to the Pickett's March (the suicidal march) being ordered and General Lee having to retreat. This battle demotivated other countries from allying with the Confederacy, and made the Civil War seem to favor the Union.
