I felt this way because both the generals’ men were fighting against the Confederates so they should work together.
Although the civil war was not won that day, it was one of the deciding factors that eventually lead to the union victory and the freeing of the slaves, which would have most likely not have been accomplished if not for the men on that battlefield.
