General Robert E. Lee led the Confederate forces.
Georgia played a significant role in the Battle of Gettysburg, as several Confederate units from the state participated in the fighting. Brigades from Georgia, including those led by generals like John B. Gordon and James Longstreet, were involved in key assaults, particularly during the second and third days of the battle. The 15th and 20th Georgia regiments fought valiantly, contributing to the fierce combat in areas such as Little Round Top and Cemetery Ridge. Despite their efforts, the Confederate forces ultimately faced defeat at Gettysburg, marking a turning point in the Civil War.

Longstreet and Lee commanded the Confederate army in Gettysburg, while George Meade commanded the Union army. George Pickett led Pickett's charge on the 3rd day, and Colonel Chamberlain held the high ground on Little Round Top.
If you're talking about the American Civil War, I assume you are referring to Devils Den in Gettysburg. There was no 'battle of Devils Den." The Devils Den formed part of the defensive line of Union General Sickles' on day two of the battle. The Confederate captured the Den when they crushed the Union defenses and drove the Union survivors back onto the Wheat Field and Little Round Top. The Confederates used the Den as a base for sharpshooters for the remainder of the battle.
