067 Gettysburg Day 2 - One Minute History

The Union Army establishes a strong defensive position at Cemetery Ridge. Despite advice against it, Longstreet orders an attack on the Union flanks, leading to intense battles at Little Round Top, Wheat Field, Devil's Den, and Peach Orchard. On the Union right, Confederates assault Colts Hill and Cemetery Hill but fail to hold their positions due to Union counterattacks, including a notable charge by the 1st Minnesota Regiment. By the end of the second day, the Union maintains its lines despite heavy losses on both sides.
