@19thVirginia @IrishRegiment69 We said they were as evenly matched as they could get. Never said it was perfectly even; nothing is perfect.

[2nd R.I. Regiment @2ndRhodeIsland]

@IrishRegiment69 Exactly. This is how we won against Lee.

[2nd R.I. Regiment @2ndRhodeIsland]

Grant and Lee were as evenly matched in military talent as any other opposing generals would have ever been. #Brainvsbrawn

The Union and Confederate soldiers could barely see each other through the dark and thick forests. #HelloItsMe #HelloFromTheOtherSide

Lincoln only freed slaves in the south because he thought it would weaken the Confederates in the war. #SomeNorthernersHaveSlavesToo

@20maineus @BMS1stVirginia Swiper is definitely in the Confederacy. Map and Backpack don't even have legs or arms. They can't fight.

@BMS1stVirginia @BMSChamberlain @cross_ephraim If you look it up, It was named Leesburg in 1758, after originally being called George Town.

I agree with preserving Gettysburg. If the Union hadn't won, our lives might be very different, so we should remember this point in history.

[2nd R.I. Regiment @2ndRhodeIsland]

I learned that Gettysburg had the most casualties in the Civil War #BloodShower

[2nd R.I. Regiment @2ndRhodeIsland]

Gettysburg was an important event in the war because it made it clear to the Confederates they couldn't win battles in the north.

A speech that lasted 2 minutes after the Battle of Gettysburg turned out to be one of the greatest speeches ever given. #YouGoLincoln

[2nd R.I. Regiment @2ndRhodeIsland]

Over 3500 soldiers were moved from their original burial sites to the first official Gettysburg memorial cemetery. #PeaceForOurHeroes

[2nd R.I. Regiment @2ndRhodeIsland]

Lee planned to take over Culps hill in a morning attack, but the soldiers sent as reinforcements earlier in the battle had returned.

@BMSChamberlain Mrs.Rousseau. We got lost going to Little RoundTop so we didn't have much time there, and we didn't know we could stay.
