Hood's Assualt at Gettysburg

Hood's Assault at Gettysburg was a significant Confederate attack on July 3, 1863, during the Battle of Gettysburg. Led by General John Bell Hood, the goal was to break Union lines on Cemetery Ridge. The attack involved aggressive, determined fighting, but it was poorly coordinated and met with intense Union defenses. Many Confederate soldiers were killed or wounded, and the assault ultimately failed to achieve its objective. This unsuccessful charge marked one of the final Confederate efforts in the battle, contributing to the Union's overall victory that was pivotal in the Civil War.
