Um, no.
I think you're thinking of the Battle of New Orleans - which was in the wrong war, besides.
That is correct. The Battle of New Orleans in 1812 took place after peace between the United States and Great Britain had been agreed in Europe.
Gettysburg was the bloodiest single battle of the Civil War (roughly five percent of the total losses on both sides for the entire war took place over those
three days) but the war lasted almost another two years.
