Advanced American History
Our discussion of the battle of Gettysburg continues today. While breaking down the events of this high water mark in the Civil War, special attention was given to the second and third days of the battle. After confederate flanking maneuvers on July 2nd on Little Round Top and Culp's Hill, the battle culminates with Pickett's Charge, the failed confederate advance at the center of Union lines on cemetery ridge. We viewed scenes from the film Gettysburg related to this failed tactic.
