at Gettysburg. there came to the war

the joyous word of the fall of Vicks-

that which was divided was again

Gettysburg was the elimination of
a 10-month struggle between the
Army of the Potomac and the Army of
Northern Virginia. and so dreary was
the list of disasters for the former
that thousand men left the ranks

State elections indicated that Lincoln's
administration was looked upon as
failure. Lee read the Union news
papers and made his own deductions.
If he could. In the hour of greatest de-

the enemy smashing blow, his cause
would be won, for England. and posi-
bly, France, would become his allies
and the North would be forced to
recognize the independence of the
Confederacy.
