What a battle! Changed the course of history for sure. Lincoln used this battle to free the slaves and crushed European support for the South.
About 23,000 soldiers died on American soil for a fight that took about 12 hours. Thus the name.
Great history lesson about the civil war.
I visited the battlefield about 20 years ago. I still find the battle plan wrapping cigars story unbelievable.
I know right!!! I was wondering if the Union had a spy? Crazy how that changed the approach to the battle for the Union.
