1 PHOTO 1: on the afternoon of July 3, 1863 a young man moved his guns from their reserve position to fill a gap in the infantry line defending against advancing Confederate troops under the command of George Pickett. Years later he was one of the leaders in efforts to build a monument to peace and unity after the Civil War ended. Name the Union commander, his battery, and the location of the monument (both the avenue and battle site). 2 3 PHOTO 3: Six years after the battle, this monument with four seated figures was dedicated to honor all the soldiers who fought at Gettysburg. The figure shown here was added later with another one called “Plenty.” The figure in the photo represents a quality usually depicted as a woman. Because of the tools shown and the war theme, it was thought to be more fitting as a man. Name this figure’s “quality,” the name of the monument, and its location. 4 PHOTO 4: After many years and discussions about funding, this monument was dedicated by one of the more than 25 U.S presidents to visit Gettysburg. of all the monuments and markers on the battlefield, this one reportedly is the only one to bear the word “Peace.” Its initial funding was from the home states of the commanders of the opposing armies engaged in the Gettysburg battle. Name the monument’s correct name, the two commanders, and their states. The battle of Gettysburg and its battlefield are not usually studied because of their significance in peace, civility, or conciliation. More than 1,400 monuments, memorials, and tablets honor the courage and sacrifice made by both northern and southern soldiers in their fighting, but very few memorialize anything else. After the Civil War, some veterans and/or government agencies wanted to show that the battle of Gettysburg made a difference in reunifying a country once divided.
