125 The Civil War Gettysburg Part V: The Morning of Day Two

In this episode we turn the page to the beginning of the second
day of the battle of Gettysburg. As units of the Army of the
Potomac concentrated south of Gettysburg, Meade recognized the
advantages his position afforded and remained on the defense.
Lee, not having a full picture of Meade's army, thought that a
second day of attacks, along both flanks, would break Meade's
position. As the day unfolded, Dan Sickles, Commander of Meade's
Third Corps, upset the Union's position, which would become
apparent as the battle commenced in the afternoon.
