p4 Jeffrey m. and Ray R
Reading 2
1.The number of casualties were more for the Union because the south had more cover and higher ground and the North the low ground and they didn't have places to hid just the trees but that was still not enough.
2.The numbers were diffrent because one of the people had miscaculation and some people were not accounted for and some people could have been indjured and fought again and they were killed they could have been counted again.

1. The union weren't as organized as the confederates. Perhaps people got cold feet and ran for it but never survived. It's also possibe that they were just not well trained for this sort of event.
2. The union may have just exagerated in their numbers to make it seem that they're winning.
3. In the union, a surgeon quoted that the patient may have surrvived if they had some whiskey...
The confederates used actual medicine to ease the pain but the patient refused.

Whiskey Was needed so help stop bleadiing.

P.4 Jaime P & Eliseo J
1. The Union has more deaths than the South. I think that the Union had more casualties than the South because the South probably had the more recent technology in weaponry.
2. The Union didn't see from the same angle, while the Confederates did. The southerners saw all the injuries.
3. Some soldiers got medical attention while some didn't and were abandoned to die. If they were lucky they would survive. Some had surgery and couldn't survive during the surgery.
4. The woman wanted her pension case to be looked at again because her husband died and she wanted something to fall back on.
Adonis.A Cecilia. A Per.4
1)The union suffered more casualties because they had higher ground & forts on the roads.
2)The Union said the confederate army was 200 casualties.the confedarte was 9 such a different number because the soldiers look alike kind of and they really couldn't tell who was who.

P3 Samantha R. Antonio Bernardo
1. The Union had soldiers along with higher grounds and had more cover than the confederates because the confederates had low grounds and didnt have alot of places to hide.
2. I think they had different numbers because they probably couldnt tell apart the bodies and probably there were bodies that might have been blow to pieces or had miscounted.
1. The union had a soldier die at the hospital from loss of blood. The confederate had His face was disfigured and his speech affected, one eye gone.
2. The purpose of her letter was to try to get help for her husband that was wounded badly in battle.
P4 Chantal Martinez & Humberto Guitron
1. The confederates had hills to hide and used for protection so they had the advantage.
2. Maybe they got confused because maybe some people got captured or their uniforms are mixed up.
3. The Union it was a numb injection and removal of the bullet by a surgeon and for confederate it was luck on his side.

1. most of the people were injured in the confederate they were richer so they had less people in danger.
2.some were richer than others in the war so they payed other people to fight in the war for them.
1.some of them had gotten good service whilel some were dieing because they were wounded.
2.the letter was showing what was going on in the war wat there were doing to those poeple who were left behind.
Mr. Albert responds:
1. In the Civil War having a defensive position was clearly an advantage. The Confederates were dug in along a road and with high ground. Both of those caused more casualties among the advancing and attacking Union troops.
2. Finding out what happened in a battle can be confusing because oftentimes primary sources disagree, as they do here. It was easy for the Union commander to get reports that counted some rebel casualties more than once, and Confederates that the Union troops thought were shot might not have been. The Union commander has no way of knowing what went on behind the Confederate lines or in Confederate hospitals.
1. The Union had much better medical services, although the South did the best with what limited supplies it had.
2. Mrs. Cherry wanted a pension due to her husband's war injuries.

1} lincoln takes us back 87 years from 1863 to 1776 which was when the declaration of independence was signed.
2} that the soldiers should not be fighting because everyone should be equal to each other.
3}the civil war testing is to see if they would really fight for what they believe in.
4}he gives the advice for people to listen and to explain why those soldiers that died in Gettysburg and why the civil war is happening and what it can do to the country.
5} what he is trying to tell them is that if the north looses then the union the coutry of the united states would brake apart and no longer be as 1 whole working together.
