The charge at the Battle of Gettysburg was led by General George Pickett, who commanded Confederate forces during the pivotal battle of the American Civil War in July 1863. Pickett’s Charge, a massive assault on the Union center on the final day of the battle, aimed to break Union lines. However, it resulted in devastating losses for the Confederate army. The failed charge marked a turning point in the Civil War, as it diminished the strength of the Confederacy and bolstered Union morale. The battle is often considered one of the bloodiest and most significant in American history.
