A 25 page paper discussing some of General Lee's decisions and the relationships with his generals surrounding the Gettysburg campaign. Robert E. Lee was elevated to near-deity status both during and after the Civil War, but some of his more human qualities have come to light in recent years. General Longstreet was maligned for years as the reason for the failure of the Confederate army at Gettysburg, but he has been relieved of this distinction as other details surrounding the Gettysburg series of battles have been discovered.
