  2. Dear Mr. Spencer, Did you the following about the Battle of Gettysburg? It was fought from July 1-July3, 1863 CSA’s 2nd Invasion of the North The CSA was commanded by General Robert E. Lee The US was led by General George G. Meade Rebels drive the Union back 1st day but the Union holds onto the high ground The Confederates were unable to break the Union’s defenses the next 2 days. Both sides suffer very high casualties: 23,000 Union & 28,000 Confederate Lee lost over 1/3rd of his army & is forced to retreat back to Virginia. The Union’s victory will mark the turning point of the war to their favor. Take care and hope to see you soon. Sincerely, Charlie Brown Mr. Matthew Spencer 7th/8th Grade Social Studies Teacher Lincoln Park Middle School 90 Ryerson Road Lincoln Park, NJ 07035 P.S.
