General Ulysses S Grant was not at the Battle of Gettysburg. He was conducting the Seige of Vicksburg on the Mississippi River from May to July of 1863.
General George Meade's main objective at Gettysburg was to place his army between the Army of Northern Virginia and Washington DC and to force General Robert E Lee to attack him. This he accomplished with skill and efficiency.

Meade's objective at Gettysburg was to defend Union territory and prevent General Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army from invading further into the North. Grant, on the other hand, was not present at the Battle of Gettysburg as he was in command of Union forces in the Western Theater at that time.

However, Grant's overall objective throughout the war was to defeat the Confederacy and restore the Union.
