The Results of the Battle of Gettysburg•The Battle of Gettysburg is often cited as the

“turning point” (along with the fall of Vicksburg, which occurred the following day) of the American Civil War.

•The battle resulted in the last attempt of the Confederate Army to invade the North.

•It strengthened President Lincoln’s belief that the Union would win the war.

• The smell of the hastily buried bodies and the later erosion of those burial mounds led residents to ask the Governor of Pennsylvania, Andrew Curtin, for support in buying up land to create a cemetery. A local attorney, David Wills, accomplished this.
