Union General George Gordon Meade graduated from West Point in 1835. He was ranked 19th among his class of 56 graduating cadets. Meade is most famous for his victory in the Battle of Gettysburg. Some historians believe that Meade was under rated by President Lincoln because Meade was not able to totally destroy the Army of Northern Virginia when it had a chance to do so. The victory at Gettysburg was vital to the defeat of the South. Perhaps better said is that if Meade had lost that battle, it's clear the North would have perhaps been forced to disengage the war.
