The Angle, Civil War battlefield site in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, United States.
The Angle features stone walls, monuments, and a Copse of Trees at Cemetery Ridge within Gettysburg National Military Park.
In July 1863, General Armistead led Confederate soldiers across the stone wall at The Angle during Pickett's Charge, marking a critical moment.
Veterans gathered at The Angle in 1887, 1913, and 1938 to shake hands over the rock wall, symbolizing reconciliation between North and South.
Visitors can access The Angle through Hancock Avenue, with eight additional historical markers located within walking distance of the site.
The Gettysburg Cyclorama, depicting the battle, was displayed in a tent at The Angle in 1894, drawing visitors to this specific location.
