If the South had won at Gettysburg, recognition would have occurred.

You mean Antietam?

However, from a technical battlefield standpoint, it was a DRAW!

From a strategic standpoint it was a colossal defeat. From a tactical standpoint, since Lee was forced to withdraw, a case can still be made that it was a confederate defeat.
