16. Well, one could say that what he did, on an individual level,
in that place, in that time, saved the Union.

Of course so many other things could be argued...if Pickett's Charge hadn't been ordered, for example...

But, it seems as if that one thing, by that one man, really is what did it. His actions turned us back from the breaking point and saved the Union.
