The Sacrifice of the 20th Maine
« « We will fight until the last man has fallen. » »— Colonel Joshua Chamberlain, July 2, 1863
The Battle of Gettysburg and the Role of the 20th Maine
The Battle of Gettysburg, from July 1 to 3, 1863, was the largest engagement and the turning point of the American Civil War. Union forces, under Major General George G. Meade, confronted General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia there. On the second day, July 2, the Union's left flank, anchored on Little Round Top, was subjected to fierce attacks. The loss of this position could have led to the collapse of the Union line.
The 20th Maine Regiment, positioned at the extreme left of the line, was tasked with defending Little Round Top 'to the last man'. Running low on ammunition after hours of fierce fighting against the Confederates, Colonel Joshua Chamberlain ordered a desperate bayonet charge. This audacious, unexpected, and successful maneuver repelled the enemy and secured the position, thus ensuring a crucial victory for the Union.
