Longstreet gained immense criticism after the war because of his political affiliations and comments about some of the war’s southern leaders. However, the attack on the Union left at Gettysburg remains one of the biggest controversies of the war and much of the blame falls on Longstreet. Is that criticism warranted? On July 2, 1863, Longstreet moved in a sluggish manner, more sluggish than normal because his battle plan and strategy was rejected by Robert E. Lee and instead ordered the corps commander to attack the Wheatfield, Peach Orchard, Devil’s Den, and Little Round Top. What resulted was Longstreet pouting and dragging his feet to display his disdain for Lee. This week, the anniversary of Gettysburg, stay tuned on this channel to hear amazing stories of the largest battle in North America.
