James Longstreet was a general officer in the Confederate Army during the Civil War.
He and Stonewall Jackson were Robert E. Lee’s two senior commanders in the Army of Northern Virginia. At the Battle of Antietam in September 1862, Lee called him “my old war horse”. After the war, Longstreet caused a lot of controversy when he criticized Lee’s generalship at the Battle of Gettysburg. This presentation will focus on the reasons for that controversy.
