I assume you mean the stand of a regiment from Minnesota on the 3rd day of the battle of gettysburg?
It was quite important. The confederates initiated pickett's charge, and the commander of the sector of the union lines which was set to receive the charge
(General Winfield Scott Hancock) understood that if the confederates reached the union lines the fighting would be fierce.
In some places the confederates did breach the union lines, and it is said that General Hancock was looking for any help he could to counterattack when he came across the minnesota regiment and ordered it into a breach without even knowing its identification.
This regiment suffered horrible casualties, was basically decimated. But their service during pickett's charge was quite important. They repelled a confederate breach of the union lines.
