As "the" one in command it falls on Lee not any sub commanders. I believe he said so to Pickett just after the assault. |

Writing in Charge! #14, George Anderson addresses the criticisms of Longstreet at Gettysburg, which he sums up as follows: Longstreet is called to account for Gettysburg on two matters - the first is that he was given orders to attack at sunrise on July 2; the other is that he deliberately dragged his heels in getting his corps on line for the assault on the Federal left. On a scale of 0 (none) to 10 (total), how much blame do you credit to Longstreet for the Confederate defeat at Gettysburg? |
