Confederate General Robert E. Lee and his Army of Northern Virginia were planning to make a significant raid on Harrisburg Pennsylvania. Northern forces of the Army of the Potomac were sent to not allow that to happen. By strictly chance the two opposing armies met at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. It was a three day battle in which the North and Union General George Meade won. This forced Lee to retreat back to Virginia.
There were two armies at Gettysburg, the Union Army of the Potomac and the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia.

Other than the massive casualties absorbed by the armies of both sides, the saddest thing was the death of Jennie Wade. She would be the only civilian casualty of the Battle of Gettysburg.
