During the American Civil War, the town of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania was home to a population of civilians who were caught in the middle of the conflict between the Union and Confederate forces. The town's population consisted mainly of farmers, merchants, and tradespeople, as well as a significant number of African Americans, both free and enslaved.

The civilians of Gettysburg were directly affected by the battle that took place in their town in July 1863. Many fled their homes during the fighting and returned to find their properties damaged or destroyed. Some were forced to take shelter in nearby churches and schools, while others were forced to leave their homes permanently due to the damage and disruption caused by the battle.

In addition to the physical toll of the war, the civilians of Gettysburg also faced economic hardship and social upheaval. The disruption of trade, transportation, and communication networks had a significant impact on the local economy, and many businesses were forced to close. The presence of Union and Confederate troops also created tensions and divisions within the community, as residents were forced to choose sides and navigate the complexities of living in a town that was occupied by enemy forces.

Despite these challenges, the civilians of Gettysburg persevered and played a vital role in the town's recovery and reconstruction after the war. Their resilience and determination in the face of adversity helped to shape the history of Gettysburg and the nation as a whole.
