This day in History...

No, It's not about the Signing of the declaration of Independence, it's



One of my favorite battles in History. From July first to Third, 210,000 soldiers fought at a small town in Pennsylvania Called Gettysburg in the American civil war. UP to that point, the union have always been beat. It was time that the south take the war into the lands of their northern opponents. On July first A battle west of Gettysburg, The advance guards Battle. I could go on for days about this, but I won't. The Confederate III corps Charged a position Defended by Dismounted union Calvary and were pushed back. They Charged again while the Union Corps under John Reynolds came up. The union second in command, John Reynolds, was Shot down and the Rest of the men fled to the ridges and hills south of the town. While they Fled the Confederate II corps charged at the Rear of the Union, Causing Panic and many to surrender. The Confederates halted and waited for the next day to finish of the union. That day, they achieved an amazing Victory.

July 2- The confederates planned there attack, They decided that A diversion attack to the north, While the Main attack was to the South. The confederates advanced in the north, to draw away union troops in the south. In the South, the confederates attacked. First, Gen. John Bell Hood Attacked Devil's den Where some of the bloodiest fighting took place. They drove them out but Hood was wounded, So Brigadier General Law took command. Law Led his men to attack Little Round top, where Colonel Vincent's Union were entrenched. Law took a Alabama brigade under Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Oates to the far Left flank where the 20th Maine was positioned. After an Hour of Fighting, The 20th Maine under Chamberlain, was out of Ammunition and also half strength. They had only one Choice, Fight to the last: They Charged Down little round top with Bayonets fixed and miraculously drove the Alabamians away.

Around a mile north, the fighting was thick. The Confederates under Lieutenant General Longstreet with Major generals Anderson,Mclaws and Pender, Charged the union under Dan Sickels, routing and destroying 4 enemy Divisions. Even further north, Confederates under Jubal Early attacked the union XI Corps. The Confederates then seized the high ground. Another Confederate Division under Johnson attacked the XII Corps and drove them away. The Battle was nearly won. If you ever want to know more, talk with me. More Tomorrow, Because after all, Tomorrow is another day.
