S05E09: The Gettysburg Campaign: Lee's Final Invasion - a podcast by Brady J. Crytzer

After two years of combat Confederate General Robert E. Lee
moved his army north. At the centerpiece of what is now known as the Gettysburg
Campaign the Southern officer planned a full scale invasion of the United
States. Although he had tallied numerous victories, it would not be until Lee
could persuade northern voters to reject President Abraham Lincoln in 1864 that
his rebellion would truly be a success. After days of foraging and skirmishing,
the Army of Northern Virginia accidently crossed a Union scout party leading to
the largest battle in the history of the Western Hemisphere. On this episode we
discuss the Gettysburg Campaign.
