What would have happened if Union General George Meade had counter attacked at Gettysburg on July 4 1863?
It's all speculation, but one possible scenario: Lee swings east, sending Hill's Corps toward Washington, followed by Ewell's Corps, leaving Longstreet's Corps to collect prisoners and then to act as rear guard against any action by the Army of the Potomac. Hill's Corps and Ewell's Corps take Washington, capturing many government officials, including Lincoln. The US sues for peace, and a separate country is recognized. This could easily have happened - if Meade had been decisively defeated. The Battle of Gettysburg was that important.

What caused the two major counter offensives by General Lee into Union territory during the US Civil War?
Generally speaking a counter offensive does not require the event to coincide with a victory, but in the two cases under review here they did. In each case, Major General Robert E. Lee launched his two major counter offensives after a solid Southern victory, then Lee counter attacked. The first instance was after Lee won the second Battle of Bull Run. He then proceeded to launch a successful counter attack into Maryland. And, after one of the most astounding victories of the war at Chancellorsville, Lee once again was successful in crossing the Potomac River as he did in 1862. His counter attack came at the expense, this time over Union General Joseph Hooker. Now, with that said, there is no doubt that the counter attacks succeeded. If it were not so, then the Army of the Potomac never would have allowed Lee to cross the Potomac River. These were huge errors by the Union, and more directly on the two different commanders of the Army of the Potomac. The end results at Antietam and Gettysburg do not effect the success of Lee in even getting to the two destinations.

What did the Union army do before the battle of Gettysburg?
Before the Battle of Gettysburg, the Union army, led by General George G. Meade, was in a state of mobilization and strategic positioning after the Confederate army, commanded by General Robert E. Lee, invaded Pennsylvania. The Union forces were tasked with gathering intelligence, reinforcing their positions, and coordinating movements to counter the Confederate advance. Prior to the battle, the Union army also engaged in skirmishes and maneuvers to disrupt Lee's supply lines and gather troops for the impending confrontation. The Union's defensive preparations aimed to consolidate their forces and establish a strong position on the high ground around Gettysburg.

Why was there no culminating point at the Battle of Gettysburg?
Based on military terminology, there was no culminating point at the Battle of Gettysburg for a number of reasons. US General George Meade won the Battle of Gettysburg, but he did not win a decisive victory in that he did not impose his will on Lee's army. Secondly, he was unable to force the Army of Northern Virginia to cease operations. If Meade had pressed the attack he would have created a culminating point as Lee would have run out of ammunition. In such a case, Meade would have no need to fear a counter-offensive from Lee as Lee would have been basically hopeless.
