The Battle of Gettysburg was an "accidental" battle. It began when elements of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia(soldiers of Gen. Harry Heth's Division,of Gen. A.P. Hill's 3rd Corps) came in contact with Union Cavalry troops under Gen. John Buford's Command. Even though Lee had ordered his Army to avoid a general engagement, once the shooting started it would have been nearly impossible to avoid escalation to the full-scale battle which followed.
