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."

Perhaps the two major examples of offensive battle tactics were in battles led by generals Grant and Lee.At the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863, General Robert E. Lee's July 3, 1863 offensive charge at the Union center called "Pickett's Charge is one prominent example. On the Union side, the offensive assault ordered by General US Grant at the Battle of Cold Harbor is another excellent example.
