The correct answer is: "It was the bloodiest battle of the Civil War and a major defeat for the Confederacy."
The Battle of Gettysburg was a battle of the American Civil War, fought between July 1 and 3, 1863, around the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, as part of the Gettysburg campaign. It was the battle with more casualties in the United States, which is considered the turning point of the American Civil War (1861-1865) along with the site of Vicksburg; and that also marked the beginning of the Union's offensive. It was a great victory for the Federal Army (Army of the Union) and a disastrous fact for the Confederation.
