George Meade, the Union general best known for his leadership at the Battle of Gettysburg, held complex views on slavery. While he was not a vocal abolitionist, he opposed the extension of slavery into new territories and supported the Union war effort to preserve the nation, which ultimately aimed at ending slavery. His personal beliefs may have been influenced by his military service and the prevailing attitudes of his time, but he was primarily focused on military objectives rather than social reform.
