Battle of Gettysburg

How was the war going in 1863? The North had the advantage as the South’s morale sank to new lows. The North continued to win small battles and suck the life out of the South. The South didn’t want to give up, and felt they still had a chance if they got some key victories.

How did the country feel about the war? People on both sides were tired of the war and wanted it to end. Because of this, the South felt they could get the North to “give up the fight.”

What did Robert E. Lee decide to do? Robert E. Lee (Confederate General) moved his troops north into Pennsylvania to fight the Union. It was July 1863, and the two armies met just outside Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The battle began, and immediately it was clear it would be the bloodiest battle.

How did the battle progress? Both sides fought hard, with the Union having a close edge. More than 4,000 North Carolinians died. The Confederate Army retreated to Virginia once it was clear the Union wasn’t going to surrender.

What was Gettysburg’s aftermath? After 3 days of intense fighting, 28,000 Confederate and 23,000 Union soldiers were killed, wounded or captured. The soldiers died with honor: One dying soldier wrote, while bleeding on the battlefield, “Tell my father I died with my face to the enemy.” This battle basically ended the Confederate hopes of victory.

What was the Gettysburg Address? After the battle, President Lincoln visited the site of the bloody battle and gave a speech. The speech included a reflection on those killed, and discussed the importance of the war being fought. It is one of the most well-known speeches in history.
