No, Troll, not Gettysburg specifically, but Lee DID go to Pennsylvania deliberately, with the intention of doing damage on Northern soil that would destroy the confidence of the North.

Pickett's charge was an uncharacteristic blunder on Lee's part, an awful mistake. I think he must have been tired that day or not feeling well.

I have numerous times played out Gettysburg on military board games, and it's a tough one for the South to win. They have to strike fast, before the Union forces can unite and consolidate in a good position, KEEP STRIKING FAST, and they can't afford one single mistake. The odds, I'd say, are about 3 or 4 to 1 in favour of the Union winning by the 3rd day.
