Decisive Gettysburg clash reshapes Union victory
Confederate forces under General Lee clash with Meade’s Army of the Potomac at Gettysburg on July 1 1863 and again July 3 1863. The peak moment comes as General Pickett’s division leads a doomed assault across Cemetery Ridge with Longstreet urging a grand attack and Union troops under Hancock and Meade holding firm amid heavy casualties.
