There was even a document proposing that Jefferson Davis would give control of the Confederacy to the Queen of England and in exchange the Confederacy would be treated as a "Priveledged Colony". (Great Britian coincidentally had a cotton surplus the year that the Confederacy offered cotton for military and naval supplies.)

Why was a victory at Gettysburg important to the confederacy?
Because it would have taken the fighting out of Virginia, and let the south go on to invade the north and where they could pillage and commandeer supplies without harming/annoying confederate citizens.

Who was a threat to the union in the civil war?
Aside from the obvious threat from the confederacy and Lee, the seccesion of border states was a major threat. Lincoln was hesitent to issue the Emancipation Proclaimation because he feared alienating the border states. These states were the buffer zone bettween the Confederacy and hte north. Lossing them would not only give the Confederacy more men, it would also shift the battle lines closer to Northern strong holds and the nations capitol.
How would the US be different if the Confederacy had won the US Civil War?
America would be divded up into 2 countries, the North and South, or possibly 3, North, South and West. "Southern North America" may still have some form of legal slavery today or if not, blacks would be 2nd class citizens. The last nation to abolish slavery was Brazil late in the 19th century. Clearly the Confederacy even if only for economic progress, would have abolished slavery in due time and proceeded to keep its agricultural economy and also invest in the 19th Century's Industrial Revolution.
