One of the most famous and controversial moments of the
battle was “Pickett’s Charge,” a failed Confederate direct assault against the
Union battlefront that has since become a symbol of gallant bravery and
terrible sacrifice. Even today, 160 years later, the grim details of that
terrible feat still echo across the empty fields where that final, brutal
charge took place, and where so many desperate Confederate soldiers faultlessly
obeyed their orders to march into the fire.
