However, it was his performance at Gettysburg and arguments with other Southern generals after the Civil War that tarnished his image. After the war, Longstreet was accused of being slow to attack on the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg, allowing the Union to man Little Round Top. He also resisted Lee’s order for Pickett’s Charge the next day. The fact that he served in Republican administrations after the Civil War rubbed his former comrades the wrong way, and the Georgian’s criticism of Lee infuriated the Lost Cause advocates who idolized the Virginian commander.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNear the end of his life, Longstreet authored From Manassas to Appomattox, a Civil War memoirs that looked to rebut his critics. Longstreet didn’t avoid his critics, facing them head on by fending off criticisms of his record for the most part, usually including letters written by other officers to his defense. Longstreet also didn’t pull punches; he is critical of everyone who he feels deserves blame at certain points throughout his memoirs, including Lee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis edition of Longstreet's memoirs is specially formatted for the Kindle, includes a Table of Contents, and has over 20 pictures and maps of famous Civil War battles like Antietam, Gettysburg, The Wilderness, and more.","brand":"Charles River Editors LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079054803184,"sku":"2940012806154","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012806154_p0.jpg?v=1763572579","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012806154","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
