Several members of my American Government class and I went on a 6-day tour of significant sites from New York to Washington D.C. last week. Here are two pictures from our visit to Gettysburg. We arranged for a Gettysburg historian to take us around the battlefield and had a great experience. The top shot is a picture of our group standing on Vincent's Spur on Little Round Top. This is the exact spot where Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain stood while he and the 20th Maine held the extreme left position of the Army of the Potomac on day two of the battle. The second shot is a random image I took of the battlefield. The three day battle at Gettysburg is generally regarded as the turning point in the Civil War—which was a turning point in civil rights and due process in America.
