Pickett?s Charge By Jakob Verhulst My project is a model of Pickett?s Charge. The clothespin people with the blue uniforms are the Union soldiers. The gray uniformed people are the Confederates. Pickett is the one with the sword and the yellow sash hanging from his waist. The clump of trees is the goal that Confederates were charging toward, because it was what they could see from a mile away.
