Why was Gettysburg an important town to capture?
At first, Gettysburg was not an improtant town to capture. A small Confederate force went to the town in search for shoes. Union troops encountered the Confederates there and soon each side was sending in reinforcments. (Of course that is a very loose description of how it started.) Eventually, fighting over the physical features of teh town started to take place. (Little Round Top, Big Round Top, etc.) So, to answer your question, it really wasn't of any strategical value, however when forces started to build up, large battles ensued. ........I guess you could argue that it was an important town to capture to blunt Lee's invasion on the North.
