Gettysburg 160 years later

Confederate Memorial at Alabama Capitol.


It was the bloodiest, most deadly battle in the Civil War, and Alabama paid a price:

Alabama sent 5,930 men to the battle.

2,250 were killed, captured, wounded or missing (38%).

A memorial to the Alabama Confederates was unveiled at Gettysburg in 1933.



HERE is a good look back at the battle. 12 days of events were scheduled.

More than 3,000 horses also died in the battle.
