The Confederate Army during the Battle of Gettysburg was commanded by Robert E. Lee.

As a leading general in the Confederate Army, Lee sought to secure a decisive victory in the North. His strategy involved invading Union territory to undermine Northern morale and possibly gain international recognition for the Confederacy. However, despite his earlier successes, the battle became a pivotal moment, as Lee's troops encountered formidable challenges against the heavily fortified Union defenses, resulting in a significant defeat for the Confederacy.
