This is where President Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address. Years later this was made a National Cemetary, and the gate we are standing by was the actual gate that once gated the White House at the time of Lincoln. Cool huh?

Here's General Lee who was not too successful here, and led a bloody 3 day battle resulting in about 53,000 casulties counting the wounded who died later. Almost 2% of the United States population at the time, lost their lives in the Civil War.
