Gettysburg was one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, why was the battle a cause of such loss of life and how did this cause American’s to look at war?

Robert E. Lee's plan to invade the North and force an immediate end to the war failed which was the immediate turning point in the civil war. The union battle strategy at that point was to hammer it out no matter how many deaths occured bc they had an extreme advatage in numbers.

warfare was the primary means of cultural transmission in both regions.
