Confederate General Henry Heth I've always thought the Yankees had something to do with it. - George Pickett Without question, the most famous battle of the American Civil War took place outside of the small town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, which happened to be a transportation hub, serving as the center of a wheel with several roads leading out to other Pennsylvanian towns. From July 1-3, Robert E. Lees Confederate Army of Northern Virginia tried everything in its power to decisively defeat George Meades Union Army of the Potomac, unleashing ferocious assaults that inflicted nearly 50,000 casualties in all. Day 1 of the battle would have been one of the 25 biggest battles of the Civil War itself, and it ended with a tactical Confederate victory. But over the next two days, Lee would try and fail to dislodge the Union army with attacks on both of its flanks during the second day and Picketts Charge on the third and final day. Meades stout defense held, barely, repulsing each attempted assault, handing the Union a desperately needed victory that ended up being one of the Civil Wars turning points. After the South had lost the war, the importance of Gettysburg as one of the high tide marks of the Confederacy became apparent to everyone, making the battle all the more important in the years after it had been fought. While former Confederate generals cast about for scapegoats, with various officers pointing fingers at Robert E. Lee, James Longstreet, and James Stuart, historians and avid Civil War fans became obsessed with studying and analyzing all the command decisions and army movements during the entire campaign. Despite the saturation of coverage, Americans refuse to grow tired of visiting the battlefield and reliving the biggest battle fought in North America. The Gettysburg Campaign: The History and Legacy of the Civil Wars Most Famous Campaign analyzes the entire campaign and its major battles, from Brandy Station to the retreat of Lees army after Picketts Charge. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the Gettysburg campaign like never before, in no time at all.
