Beginn der Schlacht von Gettysburg
Historische Übersicht
Mit ersten unvorhergesehenen Gefechten bei der Ortschaft Gettysburg begann die folgenschwerste Schlacht des Amerikanischen Bürgerkrieges. Das primäre strategische Ziel von Konföderierten-General Robert E. Lee war es, mit seiner Invasion des Nordens die Unionsarmee in eine offene Entscheidungsschlacht zu zwingen, Washington D.C. zu bedrohen und so die Kriegsmüdigkeit des Nordens für Friedensverhandlungen zu nutzen. Die dreitägige, extrem verlustreiche Schlacht entwickelte sich jedoch zum Wendepunkt des Krieges, an dem die Union den Vormarsch der Konföderation endgültig stoppte.
L. Prang & Co. print of the painting "Hancock at Gettysburg" by Thure de Thulstrup, showing Pickett's Charge. Restoration by Adam Cuerden. This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: This image, like many Thulstrup prints, was done on vellum, with a characteristic dappling effect when the light of the LoC's scan reflects off the dimples from the hair pores on the right and left edges. This is a highly distracting effect that required a fair bit of cleanup. Also, levels adjustments, etc.. N.B. No other files: They're too large to upload.
