By the time the Battle of Gettysburg happened, the people that thought watching a battle was glorious, figured out it wasn't. There were only spectators in the early battles of the Civil War.

When did Abraham Lincoln deliver the Gettysburg speech?

The occasion was the dedication of the military cemetery at Gettysburg, but that was a pretext. His real reason was to raise the spirits of a war-weary electorate to continue the long struggle, to change the reason for the war from the preservation of the union to the expansion of freedom to another race and class of citizens.

Did the Battle of Gettysburg mark the first union victory?

No, the Union had several victories before the Battle of Gettysburg. This battle is perhaps the most important victory they achieved. Possibly in the East, though Antietam is another candidate. The real key to victory came in the West: Shiloh, Vicksburg, Lookout Mountain, Atlanta, The March to the Sea.


The emancipation proclamation was given before what battle?

Antietam. It was the unexpected Northern victory that gave Lincoln the credibility to issue this Proclamation without making it sound like a desperate measure. The battle was actually a tactical draw, not a real Northern victory, but Lincoln decided to go ahead anyway.

In the civil war what battle was a real turning point for the north?

Vicksburg was the real beginning of the end. After the Mississippi river was controlled by the north, the south slowly strangled. Gettysburg has the imagination of many, but it was only a tactical setback. Vicksburg was a major STRATEGIC loss.


What was the turning point in the civil?

The turning point in the Civil War was the Battle of Gettysburg. It's considered so, because this battle stopped the one and only attempted attack in Union territory. It also had boosted the moral of Northerners, making them think they could possibly win the war, which they obviously did. Gettysburg was not the one and only Northern Incursion. The Maryland Campaign that led to Antietam preceded it. Gettysburg was the last Northern Invasion. [Also, the real turning point was Vicksburg: the closing of the Mississippi to Southern traffic.]
