Gettysburg
* The Gettysburg address was given on the occasion of the dedication of the new National Cemetery at Gettysburg, PA., because the main speaker invited Mr. Lincoln to "say a few words." * It was given on top of a hill in Gettysburg, PA in the cemetery where people had died from the war. * The speech told people why there was a war, which was for freedom, and Abraham Lincoln gave one of the most known speeches.
Yes, there was special planning and preparation made for the Battle of Gettysburg. Both the Union and Confederate armies had specific strategies and objectives in mind. The Confederate General Robert E. Lee planned to invade the North, while the Union General George Meade aimed to defend key positions and prevent a Confederate victory. Both sides engaged in reconnaissance and strategic positioning of troops, laying the groundwork for the battle that would unfold at Gettysburg.
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.
