In the middle of the battle, the two sides fought anxiously in the southern suburbs of Gettysburg. General Lee decided to let the 15th Alabama Infantry Regiment attack the left flank of the Northern Army: the little round top line of defense. Colonel Lawrence Chamberlain was ordered to guard the small dome to ensure the safety of the flanks and reserves. In the small dome defensive battle, Colonel Chamberlain led the entire regiment to resist bravely, repelling the enemy's charge again and again, but the line of defense also slowly retreated, and finally there was no ammunition. Colonel Chamberlain finally ordered the whole regiment to mount bayonets, cross the line of defense, and charge melee. Finally, after fierce fighting, the 20th Maine Infantry Regiment repelled the incoming enemy and destroyed General Lee's plan to encircle from the flanks. Then the North Army advanced steadily under the leadership of General Mead and finally defeated the Army of Northern Virginia led by General Lee .
The American Civil War took Gettysburg as a turning point, and the Confederate League lost its strategic initiative. Three years later, the Civil War ended.
