The outcome of the Battle of Gettysburg?

Answer 1

The Confederate Army never went North again.

Answer 2

The Confederate Army never went North again.

Answer 3

The Union won the Battle of Gettysburg. Lee retreated to Virginia. Meade failed to vigorously pursue, and the war continued for another year and nine months.
The Confederates would never again try to invade the North and threaten Washington DC.

Answer 4

It was a decisive strategic and tactical defeat for the Confederacy. The heavy losses suffered by Lee's Army didn't allow further large scale offensive to the Confederates. Furthermore it signed the fall of every hopes for them of being recognized as an independent nation by the foreign powers, especially France and Great Britain.

For the Union it was a turning point, which coupled with the contemporary great victory of Vicksburg, restored the confidence they would have eventually won the war.

Answer 5

The whole tide of the war was changed because for the first time, the Confederate army suffered a terrible defeat. Up to that point, Lee had won most battles against the Federal Army and he was moving into Pennsylvannia to gather more supplies and stores for his army. He had exhausted Virginia and knew there was a lot of food in Penn. He also thought it might be possible to invade Washington. But his real hope was to pin one more terrible loss on the Federal Army and persuade it to make peace. There were no plans to attack the Federal Army at Gettysburg and no plans for the Federal Army to attack the Confederates. It was a surprise to both. At the end of the battle, in which 160,000 men clashed, 7,500 lay dead from both sides. It was a fierce and bloody battle that was won by the Federal Army. Lee is quoted as saying-"this is all my fault, it is I that have lost this fight." He retreated back into Virginia and his grand plan to produce a victory on Union soil was defeated and the tide of the whole war was changed.
