The Battle of Gettysburg was fought between July 1 and 3, 1863 in the Civil War. The struggle, that has ended in the victory of the Union, is generally regarded as the turning point of the war.

By the end of June 1863, troops from the Northern States, the Union, led by George Meade, and the Confederate troops, led by Robert E. Lee, had gathered near Gettysburg. General Lee had led Confederate forces far into the northern states, as far as Pennsylvania. But when a small group of Confederate men ventured all the way to the city, they were chased by Union soldiers. Northern troops camped outside the city and on July 1, 1863, the bloodiest battle of the American Civil War began.

The armies fought throughout the day and wounded soldiers flocked to Gettysburg. Despite heavy men's losses, Union troops were able to maintain their position. July 3 was the bloodiest day of the Civil War, when Confederate soldiers began to attack with 12,000 men to seize an important force for the Union. This incident has become known as Pickett's charge. Within an hour, 5,000 soldiers had fallen, and the losses of the Confederacy were so great that Lee was forced to retreat.
