At the Battle of Gettysburg, General George Pickett made the critical mistake of leading an ill-fated charge known as Pickett's Charge on July 3, 1863. This assault involved over 12,000 Confederate troops advancing across open fields toward well-fortified Union positions on Cemetery Ridge. The charge resulted in heavy Confederate casualties and ultimately failed to break the Union lines, marking a turning point in the Civil War. The decision to proceed with the attack, despite the significant disadvantages and lack of adequate support, is often viewed as a pivotal error in Confederate strategy.
