Question

Lee's Decision at Gettysburg

We are the midpoint of the course, so it is time to evaluate one of America’s greatest battlefield commanders: Robert E. Lee. Many historians place Lee at the pinnacle of command leadership: the risk-taker; revered by his officers and troops; known for his speed of thought and action. His most famous decision, still argued over today, involves his decision to continue the Battle of Gettysburg for a third and final day: ordering Longstreet to assault the center of the Union defenses – the famous “Pickett’s Charge.” General Longstreet offers a powerful argument against the attack but is overruled by Lee.

After reviewing reading Gompert & Kugler’s article and viewing the clip from the movie Gettysburg, critique Lee’s decision for Longstreet to assault the Federal lines on the third day. describe the reasons Lee made the decision. Was this a good decision poorly executed by Longstreet? Was this simply a bad decision that had no chance of succeeding? Was it something else?
