The Battle Of Gettysburg

^{The battle of  Gettysburg was like the wars turning point.}
Elements of the two armies initially collided at Gettysburg on July 1, 1863, as Lee urgently concentrated his forces there, his objective being to engage the Union army and destroy it. Low ridges to the northwest of town were defended initially by a Union cavalry division under Brig. Gen. John Buford, and soon reinforced with two corps of Union infantry. However, two large Confederate corps assaulted them from the northwest and north, collapsing the hastily developed Union lines, sending the defenders retreating through the streets of town to the hills just to the south.
On the second day of battle, most of both armies had assembled. The Union line was laid out in a defensive formation resembling a fishhook. In the late afternoon of July 2, Lee launched a heavy assault on the Union left flank, and fierce fighting raged at Little Round Top, the Wheatfield, Devil's Den, and the Peach Orchard. On the Union right, Confederate demonstrations escalated into full-scale assaults on Culp's Hill and Cemetery Hill. All across the battlefield, despite significant losses, the Union defenders held their lines.
On the third day of battle, July 3, fighting resumed on Culp's Hill, and cavalry battles raged to the east and south, but the main event was a dramatic infantry assault by 12,500 Confederates against the center of the Union line on Cemetery Ridge, known as Pickett's Charge. The charge was repulsed by Union rifle and artillery fire, at great losses to the Confederate army.
Lee led his army on a torturous retreat back to Virginia. Between 46,000 and 51,000 soldiers from both armies were casualties in the three-day battle.
On November 19, President Lincoln used the dedication ceremony for the Gettysburg National Cemetery to honor the fallen Union soldiers and redefine the purpose of the war in his historic Gettysburg.

                                                                      

The Civil War

^{The Civil War was a war about slavery. Slavery was an issue between the South and the North because the South wanted slavery ,but the North didnt want any slavery at all. So war broke out in 1860.}

Visit To Philadelphia

                                                                        

 On May 23 and 24, 2013 I visited Philadelphia and I had fun. I learned lots of things like how to fire a  Musket and I've also learned that how this country came to be. I also went to visit Ben Franklin's Print shop and his grave. I also visited the U.S Mint and learned how they create the coins of the U.S. They also showed us how Ben Frank made the printing press. We also went to visit the Franklin Institute. I saw the 2 tons or 3 tons 20 or 21 feet tall marble Benjamin Franklin statue. I also got the copy of the Declaration Of Independence. Also for souvenir I bought those old fashioned pens where you dip a feather's point in a tiny jar of ink.

 "If you would not be forgotten

As soon as you are dead and rotten

   Either write something worth reading or do things worth writing."
