The turning point in the Civil War, the Battle of Gettysburg was also the costliest in American history. Fought from July 1-3, 1863, the battle between George Meade's Union forces and Robert E. Lee's Confederates ended Lee's bid to surprise and destroy Northern (Union) troops and led directly to Lincoln's Gettysburg Address five months later.
