  1. CIVIL WAR: BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG By: Gavin Roupe :D

  2. Who Lost the most amount of soldiers? The north or the south? The amount of soldiers lost in the battle of Gettysburg on each side is very disputed but I believe that the amount of soldiers lost by the south and the north were nearly equal.

  3. What was the Pickett's charge and what happened during it? On the third day of the fierce fighting between union and confederate soldiers, Pickett’s charge was ordered. Pickett’s charge was a fifteen thousand confederate soldier charge on the weaker point on the union line. Two hundred yards of farmland, 2 fences, 2 ditches, cannons and barricades stood between the soldiers of Pickett’s charge and the union line. Only two thousand of the fifteen thousand men that participated in Pickett’s charge made it to the union line and only a small fraction of the two thousand made it past the barricades into open battle. The remaining confederate soldiers were quickly beaten back by the union line and suffered heavy casualties as a result of Pickett’s charge.

  4. What made the confederacy retreat on the third day of battle? On the third day of battle the north had more reinforcements pouring in with more food, bullets and more soldiers. Also artillery cannons were brought in by the continuing reinforcements that the union so desperately needed.
