If they'd managed to capture the Army of the Potomac, they would have been free to help Braxton Bragg in Chattanooga, and could have destroyed the Army of the Cumberland too.

That would have meant Confederate victory and Southern independence.

What was the confederacy trying to do by attacking Gettysburg and what was the outcome?

Interestingly the battle was over a shoe supply at Gettysburg. But this escalated into a chance for the CSA army of Northern Virginia to destroy the USA army of the Potomac and so the battle was fought.
