The Battle of Gettysburg was fought 150 years ago during July 1–3, 1863, in and around the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
It was the battle with the largest number of casualties in the American Civil War and is often described as the war's turning point.
The American Civil War began on April 12, 1861 and lasted until General Robert E. Lee's surrender to General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865.
It remains the deadliest war in American history, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 750,000 soldiers and an undetermined number of civilian casualties.
