Robert E. Lee

On the 3 rd day of the

battle of Gettysburg, I

make a bold move!I plan to attack the CENTER of the Union army!

The Union will

never expect

such a daring

move!

Some of my men

are questioning

this decisi

on …

View from Cemetery Ridge Towards Seminary Ridge

Union’sView

(high ground)

Why is this such a daring move by the Confederates to attack across this field?

Day 3 = July 3, 1863

Lee orders Gen. George Pickett to lead 15,000 troops to attack middle of Union line (PICKETT’S CHARGE) Marched 1,000 yards across

an open field and up a steep slope

Confederates suffered huge losses

This is the UNION’s view of the field Lee’s men are going to walk through on “Pickett’s Charge”, which Pickett does not lead (fyi).

15,000 Confederates soldiers will

march a little less than a mile, up a sloping hill with zero cover

What could go

wrong?!

Confederates’View (open field)

CONFEDERATE ARTILLERY

FIRES TOO HIGH

Hahaha…Your cannons are

firing too high and aren’t doing a lot of damage!

The charge will fail. After the failure, LEE will be hurt muttering over and over, “It’s all my fault” and the Confederates will never recover from the loss.

The causalities suffered at the Battle of Gettysburg totaled,

Union = 23,000Confederate = 28,000

“It’s all my fault”

As you watch the scene of PICKETT’s CHARGE, please write down what it is you notice during the scene. aka things that you find

interesting, questions you may have, or simply a comment you want to share.

it’s not worth anything!)

Gettysburg Address (Delivered at Gettysburg Cemetery)
