Q1: EXPLAIN what this picture shows happened on the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg. A: The Union holds their flank on Little Round Top.
On the 3rd day of the battle of Gettysburg, I make a bold move! Robert E. Lee I plan to attack the CENTER of the Union army! The Union will never expect such a daring move! Some of my men are questioning this decision …
This is the UNION’s view of the field Lee’s men are going to walk through on “Pickett’s Charge”, which Pickett does not lead (fyi). 15,000 Confederates soldiers will march a little less than a mile, up a sloping hill with zero cover What could go wrong?!
The charge will fail. After the failure, LEE will be hurt muttering over and over, “It’s all my fault” and the Confederates will never recover from the loss. The causalities suffered at the Battle of Gettysburg totaled, Union = 23,000 Confederate= 28,000
As you watch the scene of PICKETT’sCHARGE, please write down what it is you notice during the scene. aka things that you find interesting, questions you may have, or simply a comment you want to share.
