In July 1863 Confederate and Union forces fought a brutal three-day battle at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Both sides suffered heavy losses, but the clash was considered a Union victory and a turning point in the American Civil War. The battle marked the last time that the Confederate Army invaded the North.
