Luckily, we are fighting on our home grounds of Pennsylvania, so we know the territory better. We have an advantage!
Battle of Gettysburg- July 1st : 1863 Union victoryGettysburg, Pennsylvania
On July 2, almost 90,000 Yankees and 75,000 Confederates stood ready to fight for Gettysburg. I ordered General James Longstreet to attack Cemetery Ridge. Chamberlain but his men succeed in saving the Union lines.
Significance of the Battle of Gettysburg was remembered when Abraham Lincoln visited the grounds three months after the war.
Hello! I am General Lee and I am here to tell you about the Battle of Gettysburg .
After the death of Jackson, I decided to invade the North with my military. I hope Lincoln will pull his troops away from Vicksburg. You know what, I'll just cross the Potomac into Maryland and then push on into Pennsylvania!
During the first four days of the battle, we defeated the North at the Battle of Chancellorsville, Virginia.
I know battle will not be won unless the Northerners are forced to yield their positions on Cemetery Ridge, the high ground south of Gettysburg
General George Meade: Listen up girlies, the Confederates are taking over !
Day 3:I believe I could break the Union lines. July 3rd,I order my determined troops artillery barrage for the middle of the Union lines.
Uh Oh! My people are losing , we must surrender ! Retreat back to Virginia ! Send the cavalry led by General James!
The battle of Gettysburg crippled the South so badly that General Lee would never again possess sufficient forces to invade a Northern state. This helped Americans realize they were a unified nation.
So many casualties. My poor men ! I've lost 23,00 men, more than a third of my army! Corpses. Everywhere! The stench, UNBEARABLE! How shall I ever recover?
