The area around Gettysburg is still beautiful today. Worth a trip.
Did you just wonder over from a Pro- Confederate site?
Yeah...I know...but Lee didn’t fully leave until the 4th. Meade felt too mauled to pursue.
Either way, Lincoln got to fully digest 2 huge confederate losses on the 4th.
The actual vote for independence by the Second Continental Congress was on July 2, 1776. On July 3, John Adams wrote a letter to his wife predicting that in the future Americans would celebrate July 2nd. Of course July 4 is the date that the Declaration of Independence was adopted (although it was not signed until later) and since 1777 July 4 has been the day celebrated.

Mostly agreed.
Papers in the north called for his hanging and he rode into Appomattox expecting his fate.
Four years later Lee accepted an invitation to the White House from President Grant.
Gen Lee was a complex man of great honor, that cannot be changed.
As Lincoln said:
“The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract.”
Absolutely! There are many leftists who are ready, willing , and able to do violence against you. They permeate all facets of public and private entities, especially the Federal government.
Except, of course, we really need to declare independence from the existing government. Now its a mix that requires focus.
Actually, it was Lincoln who was at war with the Constitution and breaking his oath. Lee was just fighting the central government which was, itself, violating the Constitution.
True.
July 2, 1863 - Day 2- my great great grandfather James Edwards Jones of the 8th New Jersey, wounded.
My 9th great grandfather Derick Hollenbeck 8th Albany Militia was on duty at West Point when his Commanding Officer Benedict Arnold committed his treason and was there when British Spy Master John Andre was executed in September/October 1780.
John Hollenbeck, my 8th great uncle served in the War of 1812.
These men make me proud of my family and my country.
—”These men make me proud of my family and my country.”
And well they should!
One of my kin and several others were taken prisoner in Kansas and held for a few days.
They agreed NOT to reenter the war and were released to walk home to Ohio.
A poll in March 1940 found that 96 percent of Americans were against going to war with Germany.”

Out of options when Germany declared war on us first.
Certainly not all Southerners were slave owners. Most no doubt believed they were fighting for a way of life, as they perceived it, but their leaders were fighting for an entirely different purpose.
Ah no. Nice try. The South chose a path of violent secession to preserve an economic system based on the use of slave labor.
Firing on Ft. Sumter and of course, prior events such as “Bleeding Kansas’’, are what bought about this nations bloodiest war.
—”I don’t think Lincoln was referring to the men who were fighting for the enslavement of an entire race.”
—”With malice toward none...”
4 March 1865 Second Inaugural Address
Lincoln offered conciliatory words to the North and the South.
“With malice toward none with charity for all with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right let us strive on to finish the work we are in to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan ~ to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.”
Also posted in reply #1.
Lincoln wanted to unify not punish, and get the war in the behind him. He was NOT in agreement with his fellow Republicans on this matter.
