Battle of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania - bloodiest battle of the Civil War; lasted three days and resulted in 51,000 casualties. Robert E. Lee attacked on northern turf. On the third day, Pickett's Charge happened; southern troops marched across an open field almost one mile wide toward Union troops positioned on a hill. When they got within 1200 yards, Union troops opened cannon and rifle/musket fire. Wave after wave of rebel troops fell and over half of the attackers were dead. Four months later, Lincoln dedicated a national cemetery at Gettysburg and gave his famous Gettysburg Address.Day 1 - No generals presentDay 2 - Little Round Top (Union victory)Day 3 - Pickett's Charge
