Gettysburg??

Hello,

Please tell me what the author is implying here:

On the other hand, the sophomores in high school could not seem to get enough of the intrigue of Hamlet and the horror of Gettysburg.

I don't know what horror is bound to Gettysburg, is it the war or is it believed to be haunted or what? I've been searching but I got confused and it seems that it's a cultural matter. At first I thought it was a novel or a play but I found nothing on the net to prove it.

Please help me.

Thank you.

so the author meant the battle.

then he is talking about history not literature only.

Thank you so much.

(and yes, I read that article on wikkipedia but I wasn't sure)
