“At the head of his redoubtable Army of Northen Virginia, General Robert E. Lee intends to make Pennsylvania feel the hard impact of war. A decisive miltary victory on northern soil in the summer of 1863 could bring the war to an end and gain independence for the Confederate States of America.
Meanwhile, in Washington D.C., President Abraham Lincoln realizeds that the decisive moment of the war is at hand. He directs his major military force, the Army of the Potomac, to pursue Lee aggressively and bring the Confederates to battle. According to Lincoln, only a great victory on the field of battle will bring the rebellion of the southern states to an end. The Army of the Potomac’s new commander, General George G. Meade, issues a somber directive to his men: ‘The enemy are on our soil. The whole country now looks anxiously to this army to deliver it from the presence of the foe ... Corps and other commanders are authorized to order the instant death of any soldier who fails in his duty at this hour.’
The Gettysburg campaign is about to begin. When it is over, nearly 50,000 Americans will lie dead and wounded in the rolling hills of Pennsylvania near a little village named Gettysburg.
