The Turning Point of the Civil War

 After Shiloh, Lee and the Confederacy did not have the military might to crush the Union armies.  Britain and France had still not decided if they were going to help the Confederacy (trade, diplomatic recognition)  Many citizens in the North were growing tired of the war, and wanted to negotiate for peace  If you were Robert E. Lee, what would you do?

 General Lee invaded the North, marching into Pennsylvania  Lee’s supplies were running low and his troops wanted food and clothing  Because of Jeb Stuart’s antics, Lee did not have adequate information

 The battle began on July 1, 1863 (3 days before Vicksburg would surrender)  The new Union general was General George Meade  Union and Confederate troops “bumped into” one another in the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

 Battle lasted three days, would be the largest battle ever fought in North America  Union troops got pushed out of the town, but regrouped on some hills outside of town( Cemetery Ridge, Little Round Top, Big Round Top)  Lee’s generals did not want to attack, but Lee decided to attack anyway

 Lee ordered his troops to assault the Union forces on the hills  The armies were so big that each hill was essentially a separate battle (Little Round Top, Big Round Top, Cemetery Ridge)  Fighting was fierce but the Union Troops held their ground  Joshua Chamberlain saved the day on Little Round Top

I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob goo goo g'joob.

 Lee’s attacks the previous day had failed (thanks to Joshua Chamberlain!)  Lee decides to attack the middle of the Union Lines. He thinks that they are weakest here.  George Pickett assembles 15,000 men to walk a mile over open ground to the Union lines

Interactive Map...Yay!

 Given on November 19, 1863 (4 months later)  Dedicate a military cemetery at Gettysburg  First speaker spoke for two hours  President Lincoln spoke for two minutes (not even time for a picture)
