The reason Gettysburg was so horrific, was the fact that about 24,000 Americans died. That's more than all the dead from the Iraq war. Yet Gettysburg was only a battle.
Right before the battle President Lincoln gave his well-known Gettysburg Speech.
It basically honored the dead solidiers who fought in the battle of Gettysburg and unified the Northerners
Gettysburg battle which is only one of them he stopped at two. So sorry!
It showed the Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army of Virginia was not unbeatable. It had lost the battle of Gettysburg and would never have the stregnth that it possessed before Gettysburg. So After Gettysburg. It was a slow and painful decline for the Confederacy
The Gettysburg Address and the Battle of Gettysburg are related. The Battle of Gettysburg was known as the turning point of the war because so many Confederate soldiers were killed and the Confederates could no longer attempt to fight on Union ground or take the offensive side in a battle. This was because they had so many casualties. The Union had many casualties, too. In the Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln is recognizing all of the Union soldiers who gave their lives to protect our democracy at Gettysburg by saying they died honorably and not in vain. The Gettysburg address inspired Union soldiers and supporters every and reinforced the idea that our government"of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth."
The Battle of Gettysburg is considered the turning point of the war because on May or July 1-3,1863 for the first time, the Union defeated Robert E. Lee's seemingly immortal troops. The Battle of Gettysburg was a mistake, the Union troops and Confederates accidentally ran into each other. For 1-2 days the South seemed to be winning the battles, but since Lee's shortage of cavalry (he split up his forces before the battle) he had no way of knowing Union positions, and so his assaults did not work as they were planned.
The great battle of Gettysburg NEW RESPONDENT The Battle of Antietam.
He led Pickett's Charge in the Battle of Gettysburg on the third day which determined who would win
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!!
because allot of lives were gone in the battle of Gettysburg so Abraham Lincoln came and gave a speech
This question may refer to the Gettysburg Address, if so, it came about because of the large battle of Gettysburg. After this major battle was over, Lincoln felt compelled to visit the site of the battlefield to pay honor to the brave soldiers who fought and died there. Lincoln's famous speech, the Gettysburg Address was a short but magnificent homage to the soldiers in the Battle of Gettysburg.
