The Battle Gettysburg Pickett's Charge With (Matt Atkinson)

In this episode of American Civil War & UK History, host Daz is joined by a Park Ranger from Gettysburg National Military Park to discuss July 3rd at the Battle of Gettysburg and Pickett's Charge.

Pickett's Charge was an infantry assault on July 3, 1863, during the Battle of Gettysburg. It was ordered by Confederate General Robert E. Lee as part of his plan to break through Union lines and achieve a decisive victory in the North. The charge was named after Major General George Pickett, one of the Confederate Army's division commanders. The assault was aimed at the center of the Union Army's position on Cemetery Ridge, which was believed to be a vulnerable point in the Union defenses.
