The last battle of Gettysburg was the turning point in the war the confederate losing and being forced back. With the union pressing forward Lee positioned his men in a mile long field where they would march forward to attack the union position. Which had cannons and a large force of troops the guns of lee started firing then after that the infantry advanced. After there were in range cannons and muskets opened up on them.Sometimes the shells took out ten men at a time. Musketry fired at close quarters as one brigade wasn't ordered back and they kept up a steady fire into the enemy. After awhile of that the confederates seeing that it was hopeless retreated like on big wave.
