The official Sesquicentennial Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg kicked off on Sunday, leading into a week full of demonstrations, reenactments and educational programs in and around Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. A pivotal moment in the Civil War, over 50,000 soldiers were killed, wounded or missing after 3 days of battle from July 1-3, 1863. Later that year, President Abraham Lincoln returned to Gettysburg to deliver his now famous Gettysburg Address to dedicate the cemetery there for the Union soldiers who died in battle.
