How did the Gettysburg Campaign lead to the Battle of Gettysburg?
Posted Thursday, October 15, 2009 by admin
I am doing a project on the Battle of Gettysburg and I am trying to figure out how the Gettysburg Campaign fit in with the battle (and why it’s called the Gettysburg Campaign when the battle of Gettysburg was neither the first nor last battle in the campaign). I’d also like to know some of the political/strategic motives for Generals Lee and Meade and what Lincoln had to do with it all.
I do not need wikipedia excerpts, just a really good explanation!
