Plot

After being defeated at the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863, Confederate General Robert E. Lee does not retreat across the Potomac River and his eventual surrender at Appomattox. He instead turns the tables on Union General George Meade with a vicious counterattack that sets the Union Army on its heels.
