Gettysburg was the site of the most famous battle of the US Civil War. General Lee of the Confederacy wanted Northerners to know that the Civil War was not only going to be fought onSouthern soil. On June 16, 1863,Lee led the Army of Northern Virginia across the Potomac River with the intent of reaching Harrisburg, Pa. the capital of Pennsylvania. It was a pure accident that the Union and Confederate armies would fight at Gettysburg. Lee had forced Union general Meade to Gettysburg. On July2, 1863 the battle was engaged. Each side had heavy losses however in the end the Union forces prevailed and Lee was forced to retreat back to Virginia.
