The charge on the third day of the Battle of Gettysburg, known as Pickett's Charge, was led by Confederate General George Pickett. It involved approximately 12,500 Confederate soldiers advancing across open fields against the Union positions on Cemetery Ridge. The assault was intended to break the Union lines but ended in heavy Confederate casualties and is often seen as a turning point in the Civil War. The charge ultimately failed, contributing to the Confederacy's defeat at Gettysburg.
