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

Longstreet was a pragmatic man even as a general. He thought the strategy at Gettysburg was a bad idea. After the war he thought continuing to discriminate and harassing the black man after the Civil War was unrealistic and stupid. He embraced the Republicans and he was good friends with Grant. I think he was somewhat related to him by marriage.
