While Napoleon may not have been at Gettysburg, his spirit most certainly was. The generals on both sides had studied his campaigns at West Point, and did their best to conduct the battle as he would have done. Robert E. Lee was the greatest practitioner of Napoleonic warfare since the Emperor himself, and George Pickett was often referred to as "the Marshal Ney of Gettysburg."
