The Second Day

The winner of the second day was undetermined. The Union and Confederacy both had their wins and losses.

There were several places where battles were fought-the Wheatfield, Devil's Den, the Peach Orchard, Triangular Field, and Little Round Top.

 

Devil's Den- Devil's Den is covered in boulders. How would you feel if you had to charge up a hill with rocks all over the place? That's what the Confederacy had to do. Still, they captured Devil's Den. Many ghost stories are associated around there.

Little Round Top- Little Round Top has the same deal as Devil's Den, except with less boulders. The C.S.A. soldiers were trying to charge up Little Round Top and capture it. However, this time they failed. One of the reasons why was because of the 20th Maine on the left flank and if they failed the Confederates could capture Little Round Top. The 20th Maine was lead by Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain. He lead a charge down the hill, and drove the Confederates back.

Meanwhile on Little Round Top the other companies were fending off the Confederates. They all did a good job because the Army of the Potomac kept Little Round Top.

 

The Wheatfield, the Peach Orchard, and the Triangular Field- there were many casulties here, after a general moved his troops forward and the CSA attacked.
