If the Confederacy had won the Battle of Gettysburg instead of the Union, the war may have just ended there and then, or sooner than what really happened. If the Battle of Gettysburg really was a turning point, then the Confederacy winning means that the Union may give up, which unless the Confederacy wins, is very unlikely.
However, no matter if the Confederacy wins or not, i highly doubt that European countries (France and Britain) would help the Confederacy because it would be like going back against their own rulings/laws. The South could only supply other countries with cotton as well, but the European countries now depended on India for that resource, so the South would be no use to them no matter what.
The Union would probably get tried of losing, and Lincoln would most likely accept the Confederacy back into the Union because he wanted to preserve what was left of the United States, even if it meant there is slavery.
