The correct answer is: The battle weakened Lee and stopped his invasion.
Explanation: Gettysburg (July 1863) ended General Robert E. Lee’s second major invasion of the North, inflicted huge casualties the Army of Northern Virginia could ill afford, and shifted strategic initiative to the Union. It did not produce the final Union victory, did not win Europe as a Union ally, and was not the Confederacy’s first major loss.
