Union Army General George Meade commanded the Army of the Potomac at the Battle of Gettysburg two days after he assumed command. Because Meade was a Pennsylvanian, President Lincoln thought he would âfight well on his own dunghill.â.
In this battle the Union Army won. We know this because Lee started the retreat back to the Potomac River. When this battle ended it changed the course of the war, now the war was not only to support the Union, it also wanted to free the slaves. The slaves were freed when Lincoln gave the Emancipation Proclamation.
