The Battle of Gettyburg
The Union Army was led by General George C. Meade. General Meade replaced General George McClellan. McClellan did a wonderful job of training the Army of the Potomac into one of the world's finest armies. However, McClellan was never able to muster up the courage to send his army into perilous battle. McClellan's inhibitions allowed Robert E. Lee, the commander to the Army of Northern Virginia to invade the North. Lee chose Gettysburg. Below is a picture of General Meade.
