More importantly, the Gettysburg of today has been carefully preserved as a historical monument - the U.S. Park Service is continually making restoration efforts with the aid of a thriving historical community. As much as reasonably possible, the current-day Gettysburg and surrounding national park look like it was in 1864. That is, you can stand on the vast majority of the battlefield, and see an almost exact view as someone standing there in 1864 would have. They've re-done all the vegetation to match how it was. They've put back all the old fences and many of the old structures. They've prevented any modern buildings or changes to the scene.
Naturally, it's not 100% accurate, as people still live and work in the area. But, I'd say that the current Gettysburg National Military Park is at least 90% identical to the way it was when the battle was fought. It's a fantastic achievement, and one that greatly aids in the understanding of what went on, and why things happened. It's also almost unique in the world as far as the level of preservation goes.
It was the two leading European superpowers at the time...England and France.

What happened in the Wheatfield in the Battle of Gettysburg?
"The Wheatfield" is a term given to many wheatfields in the American Civil War, but perhaps the most famous is "The Wheatfield" at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. From about 5:00 PM to about 8:00 PM on July 2nd, 1863, elements of the Federal divisions of Birney, Barnes, and Caldwell, and Confederate units from the brigades of G. T. Anderson, Robertson, Kershaw, and Semmes battled in a "see-saw" fight in a quarter mile by quarter mile wheatfield south southwest of Gettysburg. After a back and forth fight (sources indicate this field changed hands up to 7 times), the Federals were flanked and forced out of their exposed position. Multiple instances of heroism occured in this fight, but perhaps the most well known is Colonel Harrison Jeffords, the colonel of a regiment who rushed forward to save his Regimental flag after it was seized by Confederates. As Jeffords cut down the Confederate who had seized the flag, he was shot through the thigh. His enraged men rushed forward, beat back the Confederates, saved the flag, and dragged their fallen commander back to the rear. Tragically, Jeffords died early the next morning, with the words, "Mother.... mother..... mother......"
Lee's army was allowed to escape after a bloody battle at where?
General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia fought several major bloody battles in the course of the US Civil War. The two most notable were the battles of Antietam and Gettysburg. Even with 20-20 hindsight there is no majority of military historians who have second guessed the non-pursuit of Union generals McClellan and Meade. Some do criticize them and may point to certain statistics. Even with that information, they were not at the scene of these battles.
Why did the North think their strategy of blockading the South would hurt the Confederate economy?
Because it would.
The Southern economy was largely based on export of agricultural commodities (especially cotton) to European markets. Lacking industrial capacity of their own, the Confederate States were reliant on trade to meet their military needs. The North wisely used its Navy to blockade the South, depriving the CSA of money and goods to help continue the war effort. This was part of the much mocked but ultimately successful "Anaconda Plan" devised by Winfield Scott.
The Little Round top was the key position on the extreme left of Union Line, whose defenders, after a hard fight against the attacking Confederate Hood division prevented the Federals of being outflanked during the second day of the battle of Gettysburg.
