“He got his butt handed to him”.
Gettysburg would have turned out different if Stonewall Jackson hadn’t been killed, but JEB Stuart’s disappearing act is the primary reason the battle was lost.
The truth of the matter is the South lost because they ran out of men to fight. Once again, the Federals, although having over 20,000 more men engaged, had almost as many casualties.
Woulda, coulda, shoulda. The north did better in the south than the south did in the north. They won.

Well, they should've thought of that before their murderous rampage on Fort Sumter.

The south had less men but more casualties inflicted on them. That's not good at all! Target-rich environment and they still took the worst of it, numbers-wise. Like I said home-field advantage. Lee got a taste of in it Gettysburg.
