The Battle of Gettysburg



Did you know the Battle of Gettysburg had more casualties than any other battle in the Civil War? The generals who led their men to battle were George G. Meade (Northern General) and Robert E. Lee (Southern General). George M. Meade led about ninty thousand men to battle. Robert E. Lee led about seventy five thousand men to battle. Forty three thousand men died in this battle. Twenty three thousand of Robert E. Lee's men died mostly because Lee decided to charge directly to the union's center.
