Hatz Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Total number of soldiers: Union 93,921; Confederate 71,699 Killed: Union 3,155; Confederate 3,903 Wounded: Union: 14,529; Confederate 18,735 Captured or Missing: Union 5,365 Confederate 5,425 Which side suffered the greatest percentage loss of soldiers in the Battle of Gettysburg? And the losses for Lee could never be replaced. One of the greatest parts of the speech is the way Lincoln tied the two factions back together and offered a new America being birthed by the sacrifice and the struggle.

Jim Schue Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I would like to suggest everybody with Confederate sympathies to please understand that the "noble struggle" that some folks like to roll with was a "noble struggle" to keep people enslaved. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
