And yet, not as horrific as Antietam, which to this day is the bloodiest battle ever fought by Americans. I don't know why, but one of the things about Gettysburg that I find interesting is that the South approached Gettysburg from the North, and the North approached from the south. The bravery of all was extraordinary, but the actions of Lieutenant Chamberlain on Little Round Top stand out, and was a key to the battle which makes it key to the outcome of the war.
