Best Answer

During the first three days of July, 1863, Confederate Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia was defeated at the Battle of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania. This was the last offensive that Lee undertook for the rest of the war. Although the battle was a punishing defeat for the South, it did not end the possibility that the South still had a chance to win this civil war. The South had to hope that the war would end because the North would see that the cost of lives needed to end the Confederacy was too great to carry on the war.
