All of the following are true statements about the Battle of Gettysburg EXCEPT which one? A. It resulted in a great decrease in morale in the South. B. It was the last offensive threat of the Confederacy. C. It was one of the bloodiest battles of the war. D. It took place in Confederate territory.

Answer 1

The answer is D.

The battle of Gettysburg took place in nothern territory. General Robert Lee led the confederate army into Pennsylvania and brought the war directly into northern territory.

 The Union army of the Potomac  led by General Meade, met the confederate invasion near the Pennsylvania town of Gettysburg and what began as a chance encounter quickly turned into a desperate ferocious  battle and on July 3rd, the battle turned against Lee and he opted to retreat.
