Both sides made mistakes at Gettysburg but the North recovered more quickly from their mistakes. As to Picketts charge, there is more to the story, Lee for instance expected better performance from his artillery to offsett the Northern advantage but his artillery performed poorly overshooting the Northern postion. Lee also had incredible faith in his soldiers. The Nation should be glad Lee lost at Gettysburg cause, had he won, we might be in an entirely different situation today. Most believe Lee would have then turned toward Washington and threatening the capital sued for peace. Many feel there was enough disgust in the north over the war to begin with that combined with the threat on the capital the north very well may have accepted that treaty. jdn
