General Meade called a meeting of his top generals around midnight just before day three of the Gettysburg battle. The meeting was among twelve generals to discuss the next day's plans. There the chance to not engage Lee, however, all the generals agreed that they wanted to fight on day three. Meade took the opportunity to explain his idea that Lee would attempt a frontal assault of some type in that Lee's previous flanking attacks on both of Meade's army had failed. Meade specifically told General John Gibbon that lee would attack the center of the Union army and that meant the attack would be aimed at Gibbons corps.
