What important role did Joshua Chamberlain play?
He was a professor at Bowdoin College in Maine, and joined the Union Army as an officer. But what most people know him for is commanding the 20th Maine Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg. He earned the Medal of Honor there- his regiment was the edge of the Union army, and had to defeat several Confederate assaults. At one point, his troops ran out of ammunition and he had to call for a bayonet charge, which successfully drove back the Confederate troops.If his regiment hadn't held the line there, the Confederates could have broken the Union flank, and if that had happened, the Battle of Gettysburg- and even the whole Civil War- would have ended very differently.

Why was the Battle of Gettysburg such a great victory for the north?
The Union victory at the US Civil War Battle of Gettysburg was not a great victory at all. Before details are discussed. it is necessary to recall, that based on the most logical comparison, the Union Victory at Antietam, the Commander in Chief, President Lincoln forced General McClellan to resign and perhaps if only to stop the revolving door of leadership of the Army of the Potomac, General Meade, was not replaced. For even again in retreat, no attempt to place Lee's army "out of commission" was seriously undertaken much to the dismay of President Lincoln. This does not, however, seek to discount the facts about the Battle of Gettysburg. In the three days of fighting, Lee lost 28,000 soldiers, representing 38% of his 75,000 army. Lee's damage placed him in a position where on July 4, 1863, he could no longer press the enemy.General Meade lost 23,000 of his 97,000 man army, but its pursuit of Lee was bogged down by Lee's excellent rear guard and the bad weather.Based on the following:Lee- 75,000 man army Meade- 97,000 man armyBattle Location: Gettysburg, Pennsylvania - Union territoryAnd no Union troops positioned on the North side of the Potomac RiverThe victory was incomplete.Commentary: The South was able to vigorously continue the war, and if the Union had lost, would the North feel empowered to continue, is a key unanswerable question. This can easily lead to the conclusion that the victory was not a great victory.
