Both armies, exhausted, held their positions until the night of July 4, when Lee withdrew.

No battles were fought on the 4th at Gettysburg, maybe a few rifle exchages but nothing worth note. Vicksburg fell which Lee had no knowledge of until days later.
Union forces may have been broken had an attack been possible by Lee on the 4th.

It's all speculation now days.
