Longstreet was arguably the South’s best general yet there are no monuments to him for some reason

Totally off topic but for decades Longstreet was the fall guy for Gettysburg because Lee was untouchable. But the reality is that Lee fell under the timeless trap of believing his accomplished troops could do anything and he eschewed Longstreet’s advice at Gettysburg and then Longstreet had to try to make chicken salad out of the chicken shite plan Lee handed him.

That is because most of the confederate monuments were put up by democrats and Longstreet joined the republican party after the civil war. He was considered to be a scalawag which was worse than a carpetbagger by southerners in the late 1800s.

I am not so sure Longstreet's men pushed really hard for monuments

Probably because they would be torn down.
