Major General Trimble was one of General Lee's staff officers at the time of the raid into Pennsylvania. He recored notes that indicate that Lee had planned a major effort with regards to his raid into Pennsylvania. Trimble's recorded notes prior to the raid indicate that Lee was confident he would be able to concentrate his army's forces against a tired, hard marching and strung out Union army. Even more so when he learned that the Army of the Potomac had its 4th commanding general, George Meade.
Lee's plans called for using a concentrated force to defeat in detail, remnants of Union army units as they tried to reach the Army of Northern Virginia. This would dive one corps back upon another, causing panic and no time to plan a counterattack.
The virtual destruction of the Army of the Potomac, as Lee planned, would have made an impact on the war that would be impossible to fully imagine.
As was seen, General Trimble's notes were just that, only notes. The Gettysburg campaign was a Confederate defeat.
Yes it was.
Was the Gettysburgs address was written in formal English
Yes that is true.
No. The two were very different documents, and served very different purposes. The Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order, written, signed and issued by President Lincoln, and the Gettysburg Address was a speech, written and given by President Lincoln in order to dedicate a national cemetery to the men that died during the Battle of Gettysburg.
Supposedly the speech was written on the train Mr. Lincoln was riding to the dedication ceremony where he delivered it. That would have been November, 1863.Contrary to the myth that Lincoln wrote this on the back of an envelope on November 18, 1863 while on the train traveling to Gettysburg, the speech was actually first written while he was still in Washington prior to leaving on the train. He put the finishing touches on the speech the night before while spending the night in his host's house.
