The battle is over! Thank you for following the battle of Gettysburg. It has been an amazing two months. We hope to run the battle next year at the same time.

There were more casualties in the Battle of Gettysburg than any other battle in the American Civil War; the battle is often described as the war’s turning point. We follow eleven characters leading up to the bloody conflict in early July. If you are new to Twitter, you may want to visit our getting started page.
