PHENOMENAL CIVIL WAR HISTORY!! CONFEDERATE ARMY movements just prior to the BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG!!

The Battle of Gettysburg was fought July 1–3, 1863, in andaround the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, by Union and Confederate forcesduring the American Civil War. The battle involved the largest number ofcasualties of the entire war and is often described as the war\'s turning point.Union Maj. Gen. George Meade\'s Army of the Potomac defeated attacks byConfederate Gen. Robert E. Lee\'s Army of Northern Virginia, ending Lee\'sattempt to invade the North.

After his success at Chancellorsville in Virginia in May1863, Lee led his army through the Shenandoah Valley to begin his secondinvasion of the North—the Gettysburg Campaign. With his army in high spirits,Lee intended to shift the focus of the summer campaign from war-ravagednorthern Virginia and hoped to influence Northern politicians to give up theirprosecution of the war by penetrating as far as Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, oreven Philadelphia. Prodded by President Abraham Lincoln, Maj. Gen. JosephHooker moved his army in pursuit, but was relieved of command just three daysbefore the battle and replaced by Meade.

Elements of the two armies initially collided at Gettysburgon July 1, 1863, as Lee urgently concentrated his forces there, his objectivebeing to engage the Union army and destroy it. Low ridges to the northwest oftown were defended initially by a Union cavalry division under Brig. Gen. JohnBuford, and soon reinforced with two corps of Union infantry. However, twolarge Confederate corps assaulted them from the northwest and north, collapsingthe hastily developed Union lines, sending the defenders retreating through thestreets of the town to the hills just to the south.
