Secrets of the Civil War (Part 3)

Robert E Lee and his Army of Northern Virginia press onwards …   Marching confidently into Southern Pennsylvania after a string of Confederate  victories. 

Talk of independence circulates among the southern troops … a shared belief solidifies - this march north will solidify Southern independence. 

Meanwhile, Northern hopes to preserve the union remain dangerously low and leadership of the army of the Potomac changes just THREE days before one of the largest and most consequential battle in American history. 

The Battle of Gettysburg is here … 

What then, will be the experiences and ultimate fate of Confederate Colonel William Oats and Union Lieutenant Frank Haskell?
