The battle of Gettysburg lasted three days from July 1 to July 3, 1863. There were more than 50,000 casualties in those three days. George Meade's Army of the Potomac defeated Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia.

The world will little note nor long remember what they did here, but somehow snippets of The Gettysburg Address stay in the memory.

University of Michigan stadium holds around 110,000 people, so for those three days, about half that crowd, for a visual representation.
