The Battle of Gettysburg was fought on July 1 and 2, 1863 in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and was the largest and bloodiest battle of the American Civil War, with 23,000 casualties (12,000 dead). It was the final major engagement of the first three years of the war. Union forces under the command of General George G. Meade defeated Confederate forces under the command of General Robert E. Lee. The result effectively turned the tide of the war and was the point at which the Confederacy lost its chance to win the war.
