On the third of July, the North and South continued battling on Culp's Hill. This time it was more focused on Cemetery Ridge: when 12,000 Confederate soldiers advanced to the center of the Union's army. The Union's rifle and artillery gave Lee no choice but to retreat the army to Virginia. After the three-day battle, a total of 51,000 soldiers from both armies were injured or killed. And despite the conflict between the North and South, Lincoln still honored the ones who were lost in battle in a ceremony at the Gettysburg's Soldier National Cemetery and continued with the iconic Gettysburg Address.

On the second day of the battle, Confederates surrounded the Union, who were defending the hills. On July 2nd, Lee launched a heavy attack, and fierce battles began to spread out among the town of Gettysburg. Although the Confederates gained land, the Union still had stronger defenders at the end of the day.

At a collision point between both sides in the the town on July 1, 1863, the North back up managed to delay the Confederate advance until Union Infantry arrived. However, more Confederate reinforcements arrived at the scene, and ultimately 30,000 Confederates defeated 20,000 Union soldiers, causing the Union to fall back to Cemetery Hill and Culp's Hill.

Following the victory achieved at the Battle of Chancellorsville, Robert E. Lee made his way for his second invasion in the North, aiming for Gettysburg. He intended on obtaining supplies from Pennsylvania farmlands and weakening them through threats, determined to weaken their "appetite" for war, and maybe even win a major battle on Northern Soil.
