The South attacked the North at Gettysburg primarily to gain a decisive victory that could shift the momentum of the Civil War in favor of the Confederacy. General Robert E. Lee aimed to invade the North, hoping to compel the Union to negotiate for peace and to secure foreign recognition and support. The battle also sought to relieve pressure on Virginia by drawing Union forces away from that state. Ultimately, the conflict at Gettysburg was a critical attempt by the Confederacy to assert its strength and influence in the war.
