Day 3

Day 3 of Gettysburg started as general Picket and general Stuart arrived in town. General Lee chose to send Longstreet's remaining 10,000 solders to march with Picket's 5,000. But before that Lee sent Stuart's men around Culp's Hill and attack the Union from the back. But than Meade saw the coming attack and counted with his own cavalry. His cavalry deflected Stuart's. Meade knew something. Lee had attacked from the back, and both sides. Next he would attack the Union's center. General Lee sent 15,000 men directly up the Union's center. The Union cannons fired. The Confederate solders continued walking. The Confederate solders where blasted, than they got into musket

range. Both sides fought with a rocky wall between them. Soon the confederates retreated. There was 1,000 left. Lee said,"it's all my fault" Lee went into a defensive position but Meade did not attack.

I think you might have seen that this post has different colors, this is showing Union (Blue) and confederate(Butternut). This video below is me and Lucas acting out Piket's charge.
