At Copse of Trees where Longstreet's Assault ends. About 200 confederate troops break the Union line at The Angle (turn in fence), led by Gen Lewis Armistead. All are killed.
In some ways, this is the birthplace of our version of globalization.

Starts with Copse of Trees (from Union line), and pans over field over which Longstreet's Assault traversed (from Confederate positions along distant tree line) and ends at The Angle in fence where Union forces were centered.
From Emmitsburg Road, the view for Armistead's Virginia men as they angled left toward The Angle.
