What If?

I think that if the Confederates won the Battle of Gettysburg, they would gain control of the Union. This major victory in the North would send Lincoln to make a peace treaty with The Confederates. The Confederacy might have won the Civil War because after the Battle of Gettysburg, they could just come and attack Washington to make Grant retreat and not take Confederate soldiers captive at Vicksburg. South would probably gain foreign support because one major victory in the North is all Europe needed to see. They will know that Confederacy is winning and is more powerful than the Union. I really don't think that Lincoln would keep trying to defeat the Confederates because if the Union does then they might lose more than they have needed to. Lincoln might think that if Confederates are capable of winning in both sides, then they are the better army. All the blame could go to Lincoln whether or not he chose to make a peace treaty or keep trying to stay in the war.
