September 12, 2022 "The Battle of Gettysburg" Presented by Gresh Lattimore, Captain, US Navy, Retired The Battle of Gettysburg proved to be the turning point in the American Civil War. It didn’t start out that way. By 1863, this clash of the Northern and Confederate forces was inevitable, but the way it occurred, and where it occurred, were the result of a series of coincidences. The South did not regard Gettysburg as a pivotal encounter and, after the battle, northern voices severely criticized General Meade for allowing General Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia to escape intact. It was only in the aftermath of the battle that it became clear to the South that there would be no European intervention, and their hopes of winning the war and establishing a separate nation were greatly diminished. |
