Why wasn't General Beauregard at Gettysburg?
He was in command of a seperate CSA army in I believe South Carolina at the time..the main focus of the civil war is on the Armies of the Potomac (USA) and Northern Virginia (CSA) but there were several other armies in different theatres of war. For instance Grant was in command of the Army of the Tennessee during the time of Gettysburg. (July 4, 1863, one day after the battle of Gettysburg was over, he took Vicksburg Mississippi and opened the mississippi river for union forces)
Did the south have frequent victories over the union armies?
no
Which civil war battle was the most significant?
Either of the two Union victories that were announced on a jubilant Fourth of July 1863 - Vicksburg and Gettysburg. Gettysburg represented the end of Lee's glory days. Neither he nor his army was ever the same again. Vicksburg ended the war in the West, and gave Grant the credibility to become General-in-Chief. I would cite Vicksburg, as it enabled the Union to concentrate its armies. But Gettysburg was undoubtedly a major psychological blow to the Confederacy as a whole.
Was Ulysses S. Grant the Union commander at the Battle of Gettysburg?
No, he was not connected with either of the Bull Run battles. He was over in the West until the liberation of the Mississipi in July 1863, and then at Chattanooga. In March 1864, he was appointed General-in-Chief of all the Union armies.
Why were both armies coming to Gettysburg?
So they could fight
Who was Hannabal?
Hannibal was a Carthaginian General. He gained many famous victories against Roman armies and their allies during second Punic war. He was finally defeated by Roman general Scipio Africanus in battle of Zama.
How many armies were in the Battle of Gettysburg?
Confederate General Robert E. Lee and his Army of Northern Virginia were planning to make a significant raid on Harrisburg Pennsylvania. Northern forces of the Army of the Potomac were sent to not allow that to happen. By strictly chance the two opposing armies met at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. It was a three day battle in which the North and Union General George Meade won. This forced Lee to retreat back to Virginia.
Union victories in the summer of 1863?
Perhaps the two most important battles the Union won during the US Civil War were the Battle of Gettysburg and the Siege of Vicksburg. Both occurred in July of 1863, with Gettysburg damaging Lee's army sufficiently enough that he would never again attempt offensive operation into Union soil. This is important since the thrust of the Gettysburg campaign was to alleviate the burden of war on Virginia, which had been the main battleground in the east since 1861. The loss of Vicksburg split the far western Confederacy from the east and thereby impeded the flow of supplies such as cattle and reinforcements from the west to the eastern armies. There were many other Union victories, but these two were the most devastating to the hopes of the Confederate nation.
What british general did George Washington defeat?
Washington's most notable victories were over Gen. John Burgoyne at Saratoga and against Charles, Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown. Both surrendered their armies to Washington.
What was the reason why there was the Battle of Gettysburg?
Both of the armies came to the town of Gettysburg for shoes. There was a shoe factory in the town and both of the armies wanted footware because they had torn shoes so they met each other trying to get some new SHOES LOL!
Who was the person wo will be the commander of all the union armies after the victories in Vicksburg and Chattanooga?
