The Battle of Gettysburg
The Battle of Gettysburg lated from July 1st-3rd in 1863. It was the first major battle in the North and the last major battle of the Civil War. General Lee wanted to get
between the Union army and D.C to isolate them and put an end to the war. The first day the Northerners were pushed back. The second day Union reienforcments showed up and they were out of ammo so they charge the Confederates with beyonettes not even wating for them. It was one of the best defences of the Civil War. On day three was a terrible massacre. In one final attempt to overrun the Union Army General Lee sent his entire force across an open field straight at the Union army. He lost most of his force. Union army won at Gettysburg and becaue of their losses the Confederate army couldn't continue to battle the stronger northern army. |
