Taking place in Pennsylvania, it pitted Union forces under General George Meade against Confederate troops led by General Robert E. Lee. The intense three-day battle resulted in significant casualties, with about 51,000 soldiers killed or wounded. Union victory halted Lee\u2019s invasion of the North and bolstered Northern morale.
