Authentic Civil War Battle of Gettysburg Bullet
Found by Mac Mason Culps Hill
The Battle of Gettysburg, July 1-3, 1863, considered the most important and pivotal point of the Civil War, was the bloodiest battle ever fought on American soil with more than 50,000 estimated casualties, the highest number of any Civil War battle. After a victory at Chancellorsville. Lee marched his Army of Northern Virginia into
Pennsylvania. Lee's objective was to win a battle north of the Mason-Dixon line hoping to torce a negotiated end to the highting, July 1, Confederates clashed with the Union army, commanded by Gen. Meade. The next day saw heavier fighting, Confederates attacked Union forces from the left and right. July 3, Lee ordered an attack by fewer than 15,000 troops at Cemetery Ridge. Known as "Pickett's Charge," it pierced the Union lines but eventually failed. Lee was forced to withdraw toward Virginia on July 4 with a wagon train of wounded soldiers. Gen. Meade failed to pursue the retreating army, missing a critical opportunity to trap Lee and force a Confederate surrender. The Civil War would rage on for another two years.
