	Battle of Gettysburg and information on the the battle of gettysburg
		The Battle of Gettysburg (July 1–3, 1863), which took place in and around the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, was one of the largest battles ever conducted in the Western Hemisphere, and is generally considered to be the turning point of the American Civil War.
		Shortly after Confederate General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia won a smashing victory over the Federal Army of the Potomac at the Battle of Chancellorsville (May 1–3, 1863), Lee decided upon a second invasion of the North.
		However, Lee's orders gave Stuart much latitude, and both generals are to blame for the long absence of Stuart's cavalry, as well as for the failure to assign a more active role to the cavalry left with the army.

		As Confederate reinforcements were closer at hand, the situation turned increasingly in favor of that side.
		At the southern front, the Confederate situation was greatly aided by the foolish decision of General Sickles to bring out his III Corps from the heights to meet the Confederates under McLaws near a peach orchard below -- badly exposing his men to Confederate encirclement.
		Then in a long line the Confederates began to move their troops slowly across the open fields (in what came to be widely known as "Pickett's charge") toward Hancock's Union position -- in particular toward a single point of convergence known today as the "Angle." Union rifle and cannon fire ripped through the Confederate ranks.
