Why is the battle of Gettysburg considered a high water mark of the conferderacy?

Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg is considered the High Water Mark because Gettysburg is the farthest point north that the South was able to penetrate, and the defense against it prevented Lee from penetrating any further, but that is based on an outmoded view of Gettysburg's strategic importance. In fact, it is overemphasized, and not a decisive battle strategically.
