1- 200,000 men are already dead from the Civil War and it is barely halfway over.
2- Highest Ranked Union officer, Reynolds was shot in the neck early on.
3- Jubal Early's troops came and broke the Union's right flank.
4- Union had to start collapsing back, but some got stranded in the streets of Gettysburg.
5- The Union reforms on Cemetery Hill.
6- Sickles sends his 3rd Corps to attack Longstreet but he doesn't have enough men. They had to get more troops to come help them.
7- Control of Devil's den changes sides 3 times.
8- Confederates attack again at sunset. Union army is very tired. Reinforcements are sent to fight off Early's men.
9- The second day of fighting is over at 10 o'clock and the Union has the higher ground.
10- Early the next morning, Lee sees a chance to take Culp's Hill but the Union Brigades that were aiding Sickles earlier come as reinforcements. Lee is outnumbered by a lot. By 11 a.m. the Confederates fall back.
11-Picketts brigade charges and has to cross 1 mile of open land. The Union can easily fire cannons at them the whole time. The troops have to cross over a fence which slows them down. All soldiers that get past the fence are either killed or captured.
12- Lee loses. Union has won!!! The Confederates retreat. The Union follows but doesn't attack them.That might have ended the whole Civil War.
13- The Civil War will go on for another 21 months.
14- Afterwards, the wounded soldiers outnumber the citizens of Gettysburg by 12 to 1
15- The 1st National Cemetery on a battlefield is formed. At the dedication the main speaker is Edward Everett. Abraham Lincoln gives the great Gettysburg Address in 2 minutes.

ReplyDelete1. The Battle Of Getteysburg took place soon after 1/2 of the entire Civil War was over; already over 200,000 people had died in the war.
2.General Robert E. Lee moved his force of 75,000 toward the city of Getteysberg were 10 different roats met and could allow him to potentually force the Union into accepting the south seceeding from the union.
3. But General George G. Mead moves his 90,000 man force to intercept and stop Lee before it's too late.
4.During the first day of fighting the confederates attack from all sides of Gettysburg and force the Union forces to regroup atop Cemetary Ridge outside of Gettysburg.
5. During the first day the confederates were very sucsessfull in attacking and driving the union forces from Gettysburg.
6. But before the afternoon of the 2nd day Union forces are able to reposition themselves along the high ground all around Cemetary Ridge and beyond in a long line to defend the asailing confederates on all sides.
7. fighing on the 2nd day does not begin until the afternoon when union forces advance for better positions toward the southern end of the army.
8. The confederates charge the southern defences and the extreme end at little round top that is held, defended, and secured for the 2nd day by the union forces.
9. the Union repels most of the attacking confederates, and no major ground positions change during the day.
10. But during the night on the North and East ends of the union defenses Confederate soldiers attack cemetary hill and other locations many times throughout the night.
11. And although they breifly take parts of Cemetary hill they are pushed back and off the ridge. While on the East flank only 1,300 soldiers are left to defend the East flank from the 4,500 soldiers attacking.
12. Somehow the confederates are kept at by and only manage to take a few abandoned trenches lower down on the battlefeild.
13. After that day over 37,000 casualties have occured, and it's just going to get worse on the final day at Gettysburg.
14.During the 3rd day of fighting the Eastern flank is sucsessfully reignforced, and the confederate forces are expelled from the eastern defences.
15. Lee prepares for one final assalt consisting of a whole divishion and pre artilery bombardmand on Cemetary hill.
16. Unfortunately for the confederates their amunitions for their artilery are low and before the expectant amount of damage was done by the canons the infintry move across the feild to attack Cemetary hill.
17. More that 1/2 of Lee's men are cut down by continuous artilery shells and constant fireing, this fatel flaw costs Lee the battle and eventually the war.
