Charge Off Clearinghouse
Gettysburg was a legendary clash of arms in July of 1863 that helped turn the tide of the American Civil War. The battle cost the Union and Confederate armies a combined 50,000 men.
It made heroes out of men like Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, John Buford and Lewis Armistead. And it made obscure Pennsylvania locations like Cemetery Ridge, Devil's Den and LIttle Round Top a part of U.S. history.
When it was over, Maj. Gen. George G. Meade's Union Army of the Potomac defeated Gen. Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. Lee's force, while battered, was still not crushed. That would take another two years.
