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.
Exactly! Lee was canonized and beyond criticism for many. But had he absolutely erred in eschewing Longstreet's advice at Gettysburg.
This is true. However, Longstreet did not exactly perform well when he was given an independent command and sent to try and take back Knoxville.
