Best Answer

No. It marked the failure of Lee's planned invasion of Pennsylvania, and his army was nearly destroyed.

The battle also had a further significance that would lead to Confederate defeat - it gave Lincoln the credibility to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. This meant that Britain and France could not aid the South without looking pro-slavery.
