Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain's maneuver, and Pickett's Charge would qualify. The battle was a pretty major event in and of itself.
No.
It had the highest casualties of any battle in the war.
{| |- | There are no major rivers in the area. There are a couple of small streams, but nothing that couldn't be waded through quickly. And there was at least one spring that was important in the battle. |}
yes
The Battle of Gettysburg was a three day battle. It forced Lee and his Army of Northern Virginia to retreat back to Virginia. It was not "total war" in any military concept of such terms.
yes her name was marya
What you call "the Gettysburg" as actually called "the battle of Gettysburg". The Union (the Federal government) "won" the battle and it was more importantly a political victory and regarded as the beginning of the end for the southern cause. An enormous number of soldiers died in the battle and still the numbers rank near the top of the number of casualties in any battle or war fought by Americans.

I am not sure about the sinifiance of it. But the battle of Gettysburg was a horrendous tragedy. it was one of the worst battles in history. Any way.... the Gettysburg address was given I believe a couple days after the battle. I might be wrong so you might want to google it. Glad I could help!!
The Battle of Gettysburg was one of the largest battle in the US Civil War. It's significance cannot be overstated. The invasion by Confederate General Robert E. Lee was an excellent plan to bring the war to the North, and if victorious, cause many Unionists to seek some type of peace agreement with the Confederacy. That the battle ended up as a major defeat for the South, ended any further attempts by Lee to carry the war to the North.
Perhaps the saddest loss was that of a young Gettysburg resident named Ginnie Wade. She was killed by a stray bullet on July 3rd. Gettysburg left the highest death toll of any battle in the war. The families and loved ones of each dead soldier grieved for his loss.
The union won about 219 battles out of hundreds of battles in the Civil War from 1861-1865.
