What was important about the US Civil War Battle of Gettysburg?
The importance of the US Civil War Battle of Gettysburg cannot be underestimated. If General Lee's Army of Northern Virginia had defeated the Union army of the Potomac, there was nothing between Gettysburg and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Occupying that major Northern city would have only intensified the worst civil insurrection in US history. It may be recalled that President Lincoln sent 20,000 troops from Gettysburg to end the draft riots. The Northern repercussions would have been incalculable.
