well they always say that high ground wins in this case that was true,......the union had the advantage because not only were they on a hill but they were hidden behind a wall so that the southern troops had to climb the steep incline to get to them and by then most of them were already shot and killed. they then had to climb over a fence and that was when most of them were taken out because there was no time to put up a defense and shoot back because by the time most were over the fence, they were already shot by union soldiers.
