http://www.GlitterMaker.com/ - Glitter Graphics - MySpace Layouts - donate carThe war of Gettysburg was between July 1st- July 3rd, 1863, one of the famous and bloody battles in the Civil War. It occurred near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania thus earning its name. It was when the South commanded by General Lee, tried to get near Washington, Maryland, for a chance to ruin the north's hopes of winning. Because, Washington, Maryland was the capitol of that time, luckily General Meade was there and the 2 forces fought. After 3 days, over 50,ooo Americans died. There 23,005 casualties from the Union with 3,155 dead, 14,532 wounded, 5,369 captured or missing. There was only 1 stray bullet that killed a normal civilian who was making bread. The Union had a large advantage in this war, they controlled the hills in the field, thus having a good aim on all sides. The Union won and this was a huge victory for the Union. It was the one of the two turning points of the war.
