How might a victory at Gettysburg have benefited the Confederacy?

Instead of the frontal assault, Lee could have attempted to gain a tactical advantage through maneuver, or broken off the battle to seek a strategic advantage at another place and time. Lee had the advantage whenever he was fighting on his home turf.

What battle can best described as an attempt by the Confederacy to win the Napoleonic era decisive battle?
Many military historians point to the Battle of Gettysburg to be an attempt by Confederate General Robert E. Lee's to win a decisive victory over the Union that could be described as one that resembled a Napoleonic era type victory. Two large armies fought a long three day battle in Gettysburg Pennsylvania that had the possibility of forcing the Union to sue for peace. If Lee had won, he might have captured the capital of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg. It was the best chance the Confederates had to also be recognized as a true nation state by England and France. And, anti war groups in the North might have gained so much momentum as to force the Lincoln administration to agree to end hostilities. Certainly there is no doubt that the following year's presidential race in the North would have also been affected.

How would the civil war have ended if Stonewall Jackson had not been killed at Chancellorsville?
Nobody knows for sure, of course, but the death of Stonewall Jackson at Chancellorsville was a great blow to the chances of the Confederacy. (New respondent) It's an ever-interesting question. Stonewall might have carried Gettysburg. But unless they actually destroyed the Army of the Potomac, a victory at Gettysburg would have yielded no more than a few short-term gains in local plunder. (A boot-and-shoe factory had a lot to do with it.) Nobody thought they were likely to invade and invest Pennsylvania. Stonewall remains in the world of mythology, his death being classified as a good career-move. By the time of Gettysburg, it was far too late to distract Grant from his liberation of the Mississippi. Under any scrutiny, Stonewall's survival would not have altered the outcome of the war.
Did Abraham Lincoln win or lose the battle of Gettysburg?
Though the battle was an indisputable Union victory, Meade was unable to mount a vigorous pursuit, which would have crushed the Army of Northern Virginia, and provided an end to the war in 1863. Though, the rest of the South might have fought a protracted guerrilla campaign for several more years. So, Lincoln won, but it was not a complete decisive victory.

Is it correct to use 'Will also benefited'?
No that is not correct. You should say: That will also benefit.I ordered flowers from my garden club. This will benefit me because the flowers are cheaper than at the local nursery but will also benefit my garden club which gets 10% on the sale.
