In the winter of 1863, "What if" Gen. Lee was introduced to a technology that was not new but had been around for a few decades and was still improving over time. When he saw the power of this new miracle technology he realized he had found the golden ticket to victory for his army and for the Confederacy. He orders several to be attached to wagons so they could be used in his coming campaigns. In May of 1863, under the cover of night Lee practices with best to use this new technology on the battlefield... In June 1863, he begins his invasion of the North...
After the first day of Gettysburg was over, Lee was ready for the next day to use his new weapon upon the unsuspecting Union troops. The night before day 2 Lee with his General made plans to used their secret weapon the next day. Day 2 came and neither Meade's or Lee's units attacked both spent the whole day looking at each and moving troops and Lee's special wagons in place. The Sun went down the troops had their meals and as Nighnight was about to ring in the next day Lee's NoNV lite up the left flank of the Union lines in a blinding light. The night had become day and Alexanders artillery opened up plummeting the line artillery and over positions along the union lines. Longstreet Crops coming out of the blinding light crashed into Sickles corps causing mayhem and routing the disorienting union troops. Lees secret technology was the Limelight making night into day...
Ewell has few lights and he used them to light the union light and use snipers and artillery to bring fear into the Union ranks along the Union right.
By morning the AoP was routed off Cemetery ridge bleeding back to Pike Creek. Gen Stuart was sent out to cut off the union retreat where possible.
Limelight was know and use technology by the time the civil war was raging?
Lee would have gone on to route the Union army again until they had their own Limelight...
