Description
Gettysburg.
Just the name evokes emotion, and in many, more questions than answers. This place was the site of the most important battle of the Civil War. In a three-day battle between Union and Confederate forces, the war changed dramatically. With the Union overtaking Confederate forces, the tide of the war changed, and our country was never the same.
Gettysburg was America's bloodiest battle with, in just three days, 51,000 casualties. The Gettysburg National Military Park hosts 1 million visitors per year from every continent on the globe. Jason Martz is the battlefields communication specialist for the park, and he sees that even now, 161 years later, Gettysburg brings out so many different kinds of emotions.
