The battle of Gettysburg took place from July 1-3 in 1863. There was about 51,112 individuals killed during this tragic battle. Eventually the South ended up retreating and had a horrible loss. The battle started when Confederate Brigades moved into the town to take it over. They did not know that the town was already taken by two Union Calvary Brigades that was commanded by General John Buford. The battle started around 8a.m. Eventually the Confedrate Brigades were forced to retreat.
