The 20th Maine used bayonets during the Battle of Gettysburg, particularly in the fierce fighting at Little Round Top on July 2, 1863. As Confederate forces attacked their position, the regiment, led by Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, faced a critical moment when ammunition was running low. In a desperate move to hold the line, they charged downhill with fixed bayonets, successfully repelling the enemy and securing their flank. This bayonet charge became a legendary moment in Civil War history, showcasing the determination and bravery of the regiment.
