The Battle of Gettysburg did not end slavery. The Union forces defeated the Confederates who were forced to retire southward to Virginia. Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia was badly damaged and would never again be strong enough to initiate an offensive on Northern soil which in itself may have shortened the war.
