After the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863, the immense number of dead soldiers posed a significant challenge. Initially, many bodies were left on the battlefield for days due to the chaos and ongoing fighting. Local residents and soldiers eventually buried the dead in mass graves, while some were later reinterred in cemeteries, including the famous Gettysburg National Cemetery, which was established to honor the fallen. The handling of the remains highlighted the need for better battlefield management and the establishment of processes for dealing with casualties in future conflicts.
