Answer 2

The Union was able to hold the line and eventually win.

Explanation:

• General Lee unleashed his second invasion of the Union in less than a year in June 1863, after his masterful success in the battle of Chancellorsville.
• On the 1st of July, General Henry Heth's Confederate division marched to Gettysburg in the hope of capturing supplies, but only encountered three Union cavalry brigades. The battle of Gettysburg begins and Lee and Meade order the fusion of their huge armies on the unpredictable battlefield.
• Before the arrival of the Federal Reinforcements, the Confederate cavalrymen fought to overwhelming numbers. Subsequently, the Confederates were reinforced and about 19,000 of the Confederates confronted 24,000 Federals by midnight. Lee quickly arrived at the battlefield and orchestrated a strategic breakout that pulled the Union line down to Cemetery Hill just south of the city.
• On July 2, General James Longstreet led the main assault against the Union left Party, but it took place at about 4 p.m. and the Federal government had time to reinforce its positions. Some of the hardest battles began, and the Union forces held their strategic position control at high cost. Three hours after the war came to an close, and there were thousands of civilians killed at Gettysburg.
