It would have been interesting to see how he responded during the first day of Gettysburg. Would he have given Lee a tactical advantage that was lost by his other commanders, particularly Ewell and AP Hill.
That was the whole point to the Pennsylvania campaign, to force the North to sue for peace.
Lee made the biggest blunder of Gettysburg, and his entire military career.
Pickett's Charge was a suicide charge that cost Lee an entire division.
When told to regroup his division. Pickett replied, "General, I have no division."
George Pickett never forgave Lee. Until the day he died he said, "that old man slaughtered my division."

The Battle of Gettysburg was effectively over when Slocum's Twelfth Corps successfully counter-attacked against the men of Richard Ewell's Corps on the morning of July 3. The Union men pushed Ewell's men off the ground they had taken the evening before.
Pickett's Charge, from a strategic and operational perspective, was anti-climatic.

It wasn't limited to Lee but rather the entire command staff of the Army of Northern Virginia.
Meade knew exactly what was coming on the third day, it was straight out of Frederick the Great's playbook.
Lee's intent was to put pressure on the wings of Meade's army with the death blow coming from center and rear.
It's amazing how the East Calvary Battle is forgotten when discussing Gettysburg.
