The Battle of Gettysburg resulted in significant casualties for both the Union and Confederate forces, with approximately 51,000 soldiers killed, wounded, or missing over the three-day battle. This staggering loss weakened the Confederate Army's capacity to engage in further offensives and marked a turning point in the Civil War, as it halted General Robert E. Lee's invasion of the North. Additionally, the high casualty rate contributed to growing war fatigue and shifting public sentiment in both the North and South.
