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.
The Battle of Gettysburg was fought because General Lee had a need to find food and other supplies for his men who had just been through a very hard winter.
