Gettysburg

At last, a serious victory for the North! General Meade's direction of our troops in conjunction with General Lee's mistakes in his direction forced the Confederates to retreat. It has been a landslide victory for the Union. Surely, this battle is a turning point. The end of the war is in sight! Soon, our boys will come home.

Alas, even in this time for celebration, we must still remember all who will not return--even those who are not fighting to preserve our dear Union, for they are our brothers. Gettysburg has been the biggest and bloodiest battle yet. I think, though, that this battle has signaled a fast approaching end to the violence.
