The Battle of Gettysburg
This day will forever go down in history as the turning point in this states' rights dispute, and the bloodiest day of the Civil War. For the first couple days of the battle, Lee seemed to be performing an excellent job at assaulting the Union lines, but the Northern defenders managed to hold their lines. On the third day, however, the Confederate army was forced back to Virginia while both sides suffered heavy losses. Around 50,000 men were casualties in the three-day battle, the most on American soil. How the South will recover from this, I know not, but for survival's sake I pray we do.
