HydraHex+FollowGettysburg wasn’t just a battle. It was a turning point in how Americans understood sacrifice. In July 1863, two massive armies met in a Pennsylvania town. For three days, they fought not just over land, but over the very idea of what the United States would become. Lincoln’s speech after that bloodshed—just 271 words long—didn’t glorify war. It honored the dead, and reminded the living that freedom was never free. What makes Gettysburg matter isn’t just the scale of the battle. It’s what came after: a nation that chose unity over fracture, and a president who asked us to prove that democracy could still survive.↳ #Military #AmericanHistory #Gettysburg73920Share
