The approximate number for the Union was 83,289 men, and the Confederates had 75,054 men. <span style="color: rgb(25,5,225);"><span style="color: rgb(55,0,255);"><span style="color: rgb(41,31,255);"><span style="color: rgb(26,8,247);">   <span style="color: rgb(25,5,225);"><span style="color: rgb(55,0,255);"><span style="color: rgb(41,31,255);"><span style="color: rgb(26,8,247);"> =<span style="color: rgb(25,5,225);"><span style="color: rgb(55,0,255);"><span style="color: rgb(41,31,255);"><span style="color: rgb(26,8,247);">__Brief Synopsis of Gettysburg__    = <span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);"><span style="color: rgb(35,0,255);">__**July 1:**__ This was the first day of battle during the battle of Gettysburg. Robert E. Lee went full force against Maj. Gen. Meades army at the crossroads of Gettysburg this caused the union to retreat to Cemetary hill. Later on that night Both sides got reinforcements. <span style="color: rgb(55,2,227);">__**July 2:**__ This was the second day of battle during the battle of Gettysburg. Lee's plan was to surround the Union army by flanking them to the left and right. Lee sent Longstreet and Hill's division to the left attacking at Peach Orchard, Wheatfield, and Devil's Den. Lee sent Ewell's Division to the right to attack East Cemetary and Culp's hill. At the end of the day East Cemetary was still in the Union's Control. <span style="color: rgb(28,2,237);">__**July 3:**__ In the morning the Confederates lost their lost hold at Culp's hill. In the afternoon, after the longest artillery battle of the war, Robert E. Lee attacked the center of the Union at Cemetary ridge General Pickett was in charge of this attack. They charged through an open field and when they got to the union line the plan worked for a little bit but the plan failed (this was called Pickett's last charge). Also calvary was attacking from the back but like Pickett's charge this plan failed. <span style="color: rgb(53,20,225);">__**July 4:**__ On this day the Union and the Confederates were both waiting for an attack, but evenually the Confederates started to retreat. On this day. =<span style="color: rgb(25,5,225);"><span style="color: rgb(55,0,255);"><span style="color: rgb(41,31,255);">__<span style="color: rgb(26,8,247);">Major Turning Points __  <span style="color: rgb(25,5,225);"><span style="color: rgb(55,0,255);"><span style="color: rgb(41,31,255);"><span style="color: rgb(26,8,247);">    = A turning point at the battle of gettysburg was on July 2 this is because on July 1 the confederates were forcing the Union to retreat, but on the second the union got a good position and started to fight back. Also later that day the Confederates tried to take key positions from the Union but they couldn't. =<span style="color: rgb(25,5,225);"><span style="color: rgb(55,0,255);"><span style="color: rgb(41,31,255);">__<span style="color: rgb(26,8,247);">Outcome __  <span style="color: rgb(25,5,225);"><span style="color: rgb(55,0,255);"><span style="color: rgb(41,31,255);"><span style="color: rgb(26,8,247);">    = <span style="color: rgb(25,5,225);"><span style="color: rgb(55,0,255);"><span style="color: rgb(41,31,255);"><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);">The outcome of the battle of gettysburg was that the Confederate States of America lost and the union won the battle of Gettysburg. =<span style="color: rgb(25,5,225);"><span style="color: rgb(55,0,255);"><span style="color: rgb(41,31,255);"><span style="color: rgb(26,8,247);"><span style="color: rgb(10,9,16);">**<span style="color: rgb(55,2,212);"><span style="color: rgb(44,0,255);"><span style="color: rgb(4,10,210);">__<span style="color: rgb(40,2,222);">Causalities __  **     = The Confederate States of America death toll was larger by far than the Unions death toll during the battle of Gettysburg. The death toll for the Confederates was 28,000 leaving the Confederates with around 47,000 men after the battle. Whereas the Unions death toll was 23,000 men leaving them with around 60,000 men at the end of the battle. <span style="color: rgb(25,5,225);"><span style="color: rgb(55,0,255);"><span style="color: rgb(41,31,255);"><span style="color: rgb(26,8,247);">   <span style="color: rgb(41,31,255);"><span style="color: rgb(26,8,247);"><span style="color: rgb(25,5,225);"><span style="color: rgb(4,4,7);"> =<span style="color: rgb(41,31,255);"><span style="color: rgb(26,8,247);"><span style="color: rgb(25,5,225);"><span style="color: rgb(55,0,255);">__Impact of Battle__   = The impact that the battle of gettysburg had on the civil war is that this was the last battle on union soil, since the union won they drove the confederates out of the union land. After this the confederates never fought on union soil again. If the confederates won there might have been a lot more battles on union soil which could have resulted in the union loss of the civil war. <span style="color: rgb(32,0,235);"><span style="color: rgb(5,5,5);"> <span style="color: rgb(32,0,235);"><span style="color: rgb(5,5,5);">
