What if response
Gettysburg played a huge role in the Civil War. Whoever won this battle would probably win the war. However, Britain and France weren't likely to help the South, even if they won. Both countries had already abolished slavery years ago, so helping the south would hurt their image. I think President Lincoln wouldn't have surrendered anyway , because this war was fought so long already. Why would he just quit now? After all the men who died for slavery, I don't believe that Lincoln would just call it a truce. The north would have won eventually; the south winning the battle of Gettysburg would have just dragged out the Civil War. The North had more man-power, they already split the South into two, and have a barricade around the coast. It was just a matter of time.

I think that the Union would surrender after this battle because it proves that the Confederacy could win major victories in the North. And, this would pose a great threat because now the South is closer to the capitol which means they can now easily capture Washington D.C. Even if the North had split the South The South could still fight the war, and possibly take back the Miss. River, and regain control.
